In the midst of global pandemic, rising authoritarianism, and uprising, lives hang in the balance and the future of democracy is on the line. In response, Unitarian Universalists are answering the call of our faith, building powerful partnerships to mobilize our communities to #VoteLove and #DefeatHate in the 2020 elections. This Sunday, we will hear UUA President Susan Frederick-Gray from among a lineup of powerful, prophetic UU voices as we explore the intersections of faith, justice, and democracy.

A Renewal Toward Land and Community - Mitch Robinson - Sunday, September 20, 2020

9/14/2020

0 Comments

"Conservation, viewed in its entirety, is the slow and laborious unfolding of a new relationship between people and land," said Aldo Leopold. However, conservation is not just a 'new relationship' but also a 'coming home', in that we are constantly renewing, acknowledging, and restoring the collective memory, while also changing our perspective in how we engage with ever-shifting landscapes and human communities. Join us as we explore the question, "How can a renewal with our relationship to land translate to a renewal in our relationship to one another?"
Land, race, and place-making are converging threads that drew our speaker, Mitchell Robert Robinson, back to his native Mississippi in 2013. After seven years of managing Strawberry Plains Audubon Center near Holly Springs, Mitch is embarking on a new course of study at the University of Mississippi investigating the intersections of land-use history, biodiversity, race, and dominator culture.

A Necessary Stumbling Stone - Barbara Y. Phillips - Sunday, September 13, 2020

9/9/2020

If we are fortunate, we recognize our encounter what Richard Rohr describes as "a necessary stumbling stone", an experience that differs from any conscious attempt to engineer or plan our own enlightenment. It is some situation we cannot fix, control, explain, change, or even understand. Such encounters bring the gift of growth.
Our speaker, Barbara Phillips, has lived multiple professional lives - as a community organizer, class action lead plaintiff, lawyer, litigator, professor, published author, a foundation program officer, and more! She also has a beautiful smile and a wondrous way with words, which you'll discover when you join us in conversation on September 13th.

Traditionally, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Oxford holds an Open House in September to welcome back members and friends, from long-time members to the newly curious. This year, opening our doors is just not an option - yet. So, until it's safe for all to gather together in person, we will instead celebrate one of the things that makes UUCO so special - our open hearts. UUCO members and friends including Sarah Schnaithman, Caroline Greene and Dan Mattern will share their stories on how the quarantine/COVID-19 has changed their heart or renewed them. And you will be given a chance to do the same! So please join us, and tell a friend - we're virtually open to all every Sunday, even if it's too early to open our building again.
