Sunday Worship: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Stewardship Sunday

Sanctuary 1260 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, United States

The Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Chela Metzger, worship associate. Ministering to build just and sustainable communities that counter-oppressions is at the heart of Unitarian Universalism. Our liberal faith is put into practice through our intersectional anti-racism efforts, advocacy for LGBTIAQ+ people, disability activism, reproductive justice commitments, and in many other ways we strive to dismantle systems of oppression. The white supremacist able-bodied cis-heteropatriarchy in government, the media, the corporate world, and elsewhere is assaulting our society's commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion and threatening those involved in this liberatory work. Come join the resistance this Sunday morning as we launch our annual Stewardship Campaign to support the life of our congregation! Join us in-person or online.
