“WELCOMING CONGREGATION” - Catie Scudera, Harvard Divinity School

THE PROJECT

Unitarian Universalists challenge themselves to be evermore welcoming, especially to those who have been historically marginalized in American society. Through programs such as Welcoming Congregations and The Journey Toward Wholeness, Unitarian Universalists congregations across the country continue the long march toward radical inclusivity, equality, and love. It is not an easy task to journey toward wholeness. The biblical story of the Canaanite woman’s encounter with Jesus is an instructive model of how to react when our own prejudices and ignorance are exposed.
