UUJEC 2022 Workshops at GA

Ecological Civilization: Earth, Religion, and the Human Future featuring David Korten
On a path to self-extinction, humans face a defining choice. Transition to a civilization dedicated to care for one another and the living Earth or bear the consequences. What might that future look like? How might we get there?
David Korten has guided the thinking of UUJEC over many years with his books, his presentations at General Assembly and at our Annual Meeting. We are grateful he will offer his most comprehensive analysis of where we must target our efforts as we confront the existential threats of war, economic and social injustice, endangered natural resources and species, and climate disruption. As an “On-demand program at GA, please join us for ”Ecological Civilization: Earth, Religion, and the Human Future.” Aly Tharp of UUMFE, Michael Cox of Cedars UU Church, Bainbridge, WA and Lucy Hitchcock of UUJEC will dialogue with David on our next steps.
And what might be the role of the institutions of religion?

Faith Calls Us On: Faith, Religion, and Reparation
In this workshop, we explore the spiritual and theological imperatives for UUs to support Reparation for Chattel Enslavement in the US.
For Reparation to be successful, it will be important for our society to understand why it is necessary, because the truth of Chattel Enslavement has not been told. Now, there are political forces emerging, to keep that truth hidden.
Our speakers, including UUJEC Board Member Carl McCargo (pictured), will supply basic information about Reparation work by N’COBRA, UU history on both sides of enslavement and racial justice, and connections to UU theology, spirituality, values, and Principles (including the 8th Principle).
The session will end with information about UU collaboration projects with N’COBRA and Reparations work in Philadelphia, PA, and Evanston, IL, and encouragement of similar projects elsewhere.
This workshop is sponsored by UUJEC
