BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS DIVERSITIES Summer Sermon Series, Part 4 of 4
To work our way through this ironic dilemma, during (this) month we have examined some particular kinds of difference that tend to cause problems both large and small in UU congregations – differences of theology and spirituality, differences of political stance, differences of life experience, which would include such things as gender, race, age, economic class, occupation, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and military background, but would not be limited only to the differences listed. Our purpose has been to learn to build bridges across the seeming canyons of diversity that tend to keep us divided and separate and alienated.
