What are the resources that ground and inspire theologies of racial justice? What are the sources of the liberal theological tradition in which they are rooted? This workshop provides ministers and lay leaders with theological resources that equip their congregations and communities to live out their anti-racist, anti-oppression values of faith. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to articulate theologies of liberation, experimentation, and innovation grounded in Unitarian Universalist principles and sources of inspiration.
Over three sessions, learners will:
- Practice (de)/construction of Unitarian Universalist theologies with attention to historic traditions, future prospects, and the call to do racial justice in religious community.
- Inspire and energize our racial justice work from a place of passion and authenticity with Martin Luther King’s theology of Beloved Community, and orient ourselves in the cosmos and nourish our souls with Bernard Loomer’s theology of ‘big’ God.
- Free our imaginations from theologies of redemptive suffering with humanist Anthony Pinn and draft a personal and communal ethic that dares to risk in the face of despair.
