UUFJC June 2020 Newsletter
This Sunday, while we did not have our own services, our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia welcomed us at their annual Youth Service. The UUCC youth explored the concept of allyship, which takes on new importance in light of recent events. The unjust deaths of black people and their struggle for change have many of us wondering how we, often white and privileged, can help. The UUCC Youth led us to ground ourselves in our own experience of being helped by others, remembering what they did and what it meant to us. They encouraged us to take on the struggle as our own, even when the going gets tough. We must put aside our own ego, our desire to run the show or clothe ourselves in virtue. We should go beyond standing up to be counted and really do the hard work, go beyond defensiveness to listen and learn when our mistakes are pointed out, and go beyond our desire for safety to be prepared for risk. They emphasized that allyship is not an identity we can subscribe to --- it is not something to be, but something to do, and to keep doing through thick and thin.
Next Sunday, June 7th:
