“Paying Attention as a Path to Equity”

with Rev. Susan Panttaja, Maggie Ingalls, Lyn Alcantara, and Brian Shaw

It is easy to go through life assuming our experiences and needs are universal, and our successes are available to all. The path toward equity, one of the UU Shared Values, requires us to pay attention to the stories of others with open hearts and minds. This is the first in a series of services on the UU Shared Values.
