Celebrating a New Way: The Launch of Mosaic Congregations

UUA Mosaic Virtual Spring Gathering

Saturday, May 2, 3:00pm, Sanctuary

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is inviting us to a national virtual gathering celebrating the launch of Mosaic Congregations—a movement to cultivate antiracist, multicultural Unitarian Universalist communities grounded in justice, healing, and shared power.  

By way of background, the UUA Commission on Institutional Change’s 2020 report Widening the Circle of Concern recommended that the UUA develop a certification program similar to the Welcoming Congregation or Green Sanctuary program, emphasizing a congregational commitment to lifespan learning in diversity, equity, and inclusion and anti-oppression. Additionally, in November 2020, BUF adopted by resolution the “Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship Covenant of Beloved Community” which states: We, a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant 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.

This virtual gathering, which will be broadcast live in the BUF Sanctuary, will introduce the Mosaic framework, offer spiritual and political grounding for the work ahead, and invite congregations into a deeper practice of Beloved Community.
