We are a socially engaged community that works collaboratively, compassionately, and urgently for a just society, and for our life-sustaining planet.
How are we doing on this? In response to this question, the speakers will draw on the words of UU minister Rev. Richard S. Gilbert in his book The Prophetic Imperative.
