Benevolent Aspirations

For over a year Rev. Fred Muir partnered with a team of UU colleagues to review and write about "Widening the Circle of Concern" (the Report of the UUA Commission on Institutional Change, 2020). It's a bold, comprehensive, and "frame-bending" appraisal of our multicultural, anti-racism commitments with many recommendations. This morning Rev. Fred will share some of his insights—institutional and personal, religious and spiritual—inspired by our work with particular attention as to how these might shape our sustaining affirmation of the 8th Principle. (This sermon was purchased at UUCA's auction by Olga Pabon, Angelique Berry, Thornell Jones, and Stan Keeve.
