Unitarian Universalism’s greatest challenge may be about class. While the values of this liberal faith in theory promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) congregations tend to be populated by educated professionals. How does social class influence congregational life, here at BVUUF and denominationally. What does class have to do with the theologies we promote, the ministries we offer, the membership we attract and keep? Does BVUUF fit the profile discussed by Rev. Mark Harris in his recent book Elite, about classism in Unitarian Universalist history? How is UUism doing, as a religion of inclusion? Service led by Rev. Dr. Barbara Coeyman with Service Associate Nicolette Toussaint.
