We are delighted to announce that the 2022 Conrad Wright Lecture will be given by Dr. Melissa Borja at the Unitarian Universalist General Assembly. The Unitarian Universalist Study Network (UUSN) - formerly the UU History and Heritage Society - arranges and sponsors the lecture each year. Dr. Borja will speak on "Immigration, Religious Diversity, and the Limits of Pluralism." Description: "With recent immigration, America is more multireligious than ever, and Americans (especially UUs) have embraced the framework of religious pluralism. However, while respecting religious difference is a laudable goal, the idea that all people can be understood through the category of religion has produced both possibilities and perils." For those attending UU General Assembly, this will be an "on-demand" program. We do hope you watch this excellent presentation when it becomes available.
