People's Church Of Kalamazoo

Over the past four decades Unitarian Universalists have been organizing to build a more inclusive and just Beloved Community in our congregations, our work places, our communities, and our families. Beloved Community embodies the values of inclusion, justice making, power sharing, and affection. To build more Beloved Community we have had to struggle with the isms of sex, race, sexual identity, class, age, and physical ability. It has often been a difficult and painful journey. There are successes to celebrate and defeats to learn from. We are on the way but we aren’t fully there yet. Bill Gardiner will reflect on where we go from here in building Beloved Community.
