We are forming a new task force that will work towards recertification of East Shore UU as a Welcoming Congregation. A Welcoming Congregation in the context of Unitarian Universalism is a congregation that strives for radical inclusion and creates spaces where all are honored and belong. This commitment involves actively working to dismantle systems of oppression and create inclusive communities where everyone can flourish.
This new Task Force will examine the UUA’s new Welcoming Congregation standards and requirements to determine what specific actions East Shore needs to take to re-certify as a “Welcoming Congregation” and will lead East Shore in planning actions to accomplish this goal. If you are interested in being involved in this important social justice work, you are welcome to attend this meeting. If you have questions, please contact Jerie Green at jgreen@lakenetwork.net.
The work of welcome is never done. Welcoming Congregations can learn more about how to be truly welcoming to all people by renewing their commitment.
