Canadian UUs Read: A Sharing Our Faith Experiment!
Saturday, November 1, 2025 – 1:00 pm PT | 2:00 pm MT | 3:00 pm CT | 4:00 pm ET | 5:00 pm AT | 5:30pm NT (1 hr 45 min)
A national conversation about this moment in Unitarian Universalism, hosted by the UU Ministers of Canada.
A panel of ministers will each pitch their book proposal. Audience members (that’s you!) will be able to submit questions. At the end of the event, everyone will vote on the book that will help us meet this moment, setting the theme for 2026’s Sharing Our Faith packet, and selecting the book that we will read nationally.
This experiment in engaging in a national conversation is part of the “Activating the Canadian Ecosystem,” a year of connection, experimentation and learning.
Two of the proposed books highlight the importance of Indigenous wisdom and experience:
- Rev. Debra Faulk is championing Embers: One Ojibway’s Meditations by the late Richard Wagamese (2016). Debra says that Embers provides inspiration, comfort and direction. It is filled with practical advice for responding to hard times.
- North of Nowhere: Song of a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner by Marie Wilson (2024) is proposed by Rev. Samaya Oakley. Samaya chose this book because it shows the importance of seeing the world with new eyes.
Which book will make it into our Sharing our Faith packet? That depends on how you vote. Get your ticket here.
