Sunday morning we were invited to online services with our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia. Rev. Dr. C.W. Dawson gave his first message as sabbatical minister during Rev. Molly's time away. Readings by Starhawk and Kamand Kojouri as well as music by Sweet Honey In The Rock and others introduced a message about building community and building a nation. Rev. Dawson shared that he is troubled by the cracks of division and hatred in our society. It is long past time to come together and build a nation without the suspicion and violence of discrimination, without hand-wringing over who should be part of "us" and how soon. Especially now as we start to rebuild from the Covid pandemic, what America are we building? What normal are we trying to get back to --- or create? What are we willing to sacrifice to build a better future? What are we willing to stand up for?
The full service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/6Md7QctvV6g
Also please note: the UUFJC Board is currently considering a Covid response and reopening policy. The current draft is available to view or download here:
