SOCIAL JUSTICE
Social Justice is an important part of our church and our history. We participate in many events throughout the year where you can be of service. One of the great ways to start is to attend the Social Justice Committee meeting. Also, you can check our calendar for any upcoming opportunities. The Social Justice Committee (SJC) consists of at least five
members elected at a congregational meeting. Members serve two-year
terms and may be re-elected. Other persons may serve on the committee as
non-voting members. The SJC keeps informed of events and issues of
concern to religious liberals and encourages the study of such issues by
church members. It informs the membership of needs and opportunities
for social action and makes recommendations of ways and means to achieve
effective action. The SJC sponsors the Saturday Afternoon Forum and the
Social Justice Book Club.
SJC Saturday Afternoon Forum: Join us Saturday, October 24, at 2pm for "Equal Access to Education," with Feben Fantu. Q&A to follow presentation. SJC Book Club: "How to Be Anti Racist," by Ibram X. Kendi. Please contact the church office for Zoom meeting details. We meet on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays at 7pm, excepting holidays.
