Dear Colleagues,
As we enter a new year, we are more determined than ever to mobilize our UU communities around the core justice values that make our faith so relevant to the current political moment.
Among these core values is our commitment to the worth and dignity of each person, which leads us to resist laws and policies that treat some people as disposable.
Migrants are particularly vulnerable today, not only in border states but all over our country. And one of the best ways I know of for you as a religious leader to galvanize your own ministry toward migrant justice is to travel with the UU College of Social Justice on their Border Witness Journey for ministers and religious educators.
Kathleen McTigue, Susan Frederick-Gray and Religious Professionals Walking the migrant trails
I know the power of this program first hand: I joined the 2014 journey, and found enormous support and benefit for my own ministry through the chance to travel, reflect, pray, and strategize with other religious leaders. The next program runs this coming May 8-12, and I hope you’ll be able to join it!
You can learn more and register by March 1st, 2018 at www.uucsj.org/theologyandmigration/
Thank you.
Susan
President of the Unitarian Universalist Association
