Close Enough To Tell
When Bryan Stevenson spoke to UUs at General Assembly in 2017, he offered Four Steps to Change the World, the first of which was to get proximate – to marginalized people, to folks different from ourselves, to challenging situations. In this month, when the congregation’s theme is Cultivatng Relationship, we’ll use stories from UU history, from OWL, and other parts of life to explore what it means to get proximate, how to handle the discomfort we sometimes find beyond our familiar, and the ways in which this teaching is expressed in numerous faiths.
