In the meantime, our January 29 service will be centered on this year's book, The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement is Overcoming the Politics of Division and Fear, by the Reverend William J. Barber II. Rev. Barber writes about creating a transformative coalition for social justice, not only in his native North Carolina but also around the country. You don't have to read the book to participate in the service, but some of our members and friends have volunteered to do so.
Each year, the Unitarian Universalist Common Read invites participants to read and discuss the same book in a given period of time, providing a shared experience, a shared language, and a basis for deep, meaningful conversations. Each year's Common Read is chosen by a committee including staff of the UUA. Anyone may nominate a book - and if you go to www.uua.org you can nominate a book for 2017-2018!
