BIPOC Book Group: “Being Black”

BIPOC Book Group: “Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living with Fearlessness and Grace”
Sundays, March 5, April 2, & May 7, 1–2:30 p.m. at church
RSVP REQUESTED

In this elegant, practical book, Rev. angel Kyodo Williams combines the universal wisdom of Buddhism with an inspirational call for self-acceptance and community empowerment. Written by a woman who grew up facing the challenges that confront African-Americans every day, Being Black teaches us how a “warrior spirit” of truth and responsibility can be developed into the foundation for real happiness and personal transformation. BIPOC church members and friends are invited to join us to talk about the ideas and concepts within, how they do or don’t speak to us, and what they mean for our lives and practices as Unitarian Universalists individually, in the community, and here at church too. The group that met about this book in November decided to keep working with the book, AND to invite more folks to join the conversation. So even if you haven’t opened the book at all, even if you don’t have a copy yet (just request it from Dr. Glen Thomas or Rev. Arif), sign up, and join us on the first Sunday of each month.

Facilitated by Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout, Director of Worship Arts Ministries, and Rev. Arif Mamdani, Associate Minister
