Please join us in celebrating the growing relationship of UUMAN with our partner church in Northeast India. We will explore the historical roots of the Unitarian church in the Khasi Hills and learn some of the differences between our churches and our cultures.
How does our culture and experiences affect how we look at and assess the world and those around us? How does travel to other countries with very different cultures and life experiences can open our eyes to the variety of perspectives?
At a time when we take sides and shout at each other across a vast chasm, when true communication has disappeared, perhaps the only way to bridge that chasm is, first, to listen deeply to each other and hope that in so doing we can find the common humanity and, yes, even the Divinity, in each other. Some call that spark of recognition “God” and such deep listening work as holy work. We suggest that the non-partisan work of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby is such work.
