Unitarian Universalist History: 1960 to present
This class offers an engaging look at Unitarian Universalism’s modern history—from the 1961 merger of Unitarians and Universalists through the movements that shaped us: civil rights, feminism, LGBTQ+ equality, anti-racism, environmental justice, and more. We’ll reflect on both the inspiring stories and the hard lessons, and consider how the past 65 years continue to shape our values, our identity, and our vision for the future. Together we’ll ask: what does it mean to be UU today, and how will we carry our history forward?
Science Sunday
Mike Winter will follow up on Scott Thompson’s discussion of events during his visit to Dayton, Tennessee on the hundredth anniversary of the “Scopes’ Monkey Trial”.
