The Arc of the Universe Is Long
Unitarian Universalists, Anti-Racism and the Journey from Calgary
Leslie Takahashi Morris, Chip Roush and Leon Spencer
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
—Martin Luther King Jr., paraphrasing Theodore Parker, Unitarian Minister, 1810-1860
The recent history of the Unitarian Universaslist Associaiton (UUA) journey toward becoming an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, multicultural movement is captured in this careful and thorough study. Covers the fourteen years that begin with the passage of the racial and cultural diversity resolution at Calgary, in Canada, in 1992 and traces developments through General Assembly 2006. Using interviews and written records, the authors bring to life the voices and stories that represent many perspectives, all addressing issues of race and ethnicity in our congregations and our association.
