Rising Together: Unitarian Universalists of Colour

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 – 4:30pm PT | 5:30pm MT | 6:30pm CT | 7:30pm ET | 8:30pm AT (90 minutes)

Black folks, Indigenous folks and people of colour (BIPOC) are often in the minority in Unitarian Universalists congregations and communities. Gathering together with others who share similar identities and experiences can reduce isolation and support us in getting our spiritual needs met. Rising Together is the place where we can find each other! 

Led by Camellia Jahanshahi from the Unitarian Church of Montreal, we gather online seasonally (in October, January, April and July) for themed worship, discussions, and workshop-style activities. Join us for a chance to meet other BIPOC Unitarian Universalists across Canada and nurture our community with the aim of affirming each other and ensuring we have a confident voice in the broader Unitarian Universalist community. 

Schedule 

 

The Rising Together BIPOC community is meeting seasonally this year, always from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Eastern time. Add these dates to your calendar:
