A New Song for “My People”

What does it mean to identify as a Southern white person in today’s world?  Especially if your family history goes way back, racism is not just prevalent, it is part of the song we have sung for centuries. Explore the spiritual and emotional journey of making reparations for slavery in an old Southern family and what it takes for us all to “sing a New song of the South”.

Celebrating Our Elders

We are warmed by fires we did not light. So many thousands of volunteer hours have kept the fires of UUMAN going for over 30 years. We honor all elders and acknowledge the very important contributions they have made. Together we reflect on elders as a vital part of our community.

All of Who We Are

Unitarian Universalism recognizes that there is a wide variety of gender experience in the world, not just men and women.  What aspects of UUMAN could be more welcoming to “all of who we are” as persons?  We explore this through personal vignettes and learning experiences about the transgender journey.
