Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) Havens Chicago

At General Assembly in 2020 Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) announced “After quite some time of deep listening, dreaming, discerning, and developing, Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism is thrilled to have launched the process for social groups and spiritual communities of predominantly Black UU and Black UU-adjacent folks (folks who share our values of Love, Liberation & Justice) to become established as BLUU Havens or BLUU Harbors!!!  

Everybody wants a place to call home. What many Black UUs have clearly articulated a need for is a Black Unitarian Universalism that offers an unequivocal and unwavering sense of home to Black people who feel held by, or want to be more connected to, Black ancestry, Black love, Black thought, Black artistry, and Black faith. What we want is a Unitarian Universalism that, at EVERY turn, honors, uplifts, and equips our Black Lives. So the development of BLUU Havens & BLUU Harbors came alive!”  

BLUU Social Gatherings meet monthly. To request information please email Shannon Lang at BLUUHavenChicago@gmail.com.
