8th Principle: To affirm and promote journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
WORKSHOP GOAL: TO PROVIDE AN ONLINE WORKSHOP/CONSULTATION THAT INTRODUCES THE 8TH PRINCIPLE AND NEW FRAMEWORKS FOR BUILDING A CULTURE OF INCLUSION
OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce strategies for working toward long-term cultural change and to elicit the knowledge of participants about how to engage the congregation.
• To share a framework for how collaboration and accountability shapes institutions and shifts power
• To engage participants in an interactive experience of the transformative power of the 8th Principle.
We, Unitarian Universalists, are called to build the Beloved Community. To do that, UUs must attend to the unfinished business of dismantling racism and oppression in our congregations and Association and with our community partners. How do we stand in solidarity with the social movements of our times and how do they change us?
This workshop introduces the 8th Principle and multicultural change as a developmental process for congregations. How have other UU congregations approached the spiritual and structural aspects of moving more fully into our vision of the Beloved Community? What tools will help you accomplish the tasks?
