Beloved Conversations Scholarship
Beloved Conversations is offered through The Fahs Collaborative at Meadville Lombard Theological School. It is “a program for Unitarian Universalists seeking to embody racial justice as a spiritual practice. In Beloved Conversations, we are here to heal the impact of racism on our lives, in order to get free together.”
At UCE, more than 60 members have participated in Beloved Conversations. It has given our congregation a common language around healing racism and ideas for dismantling white supremacy culture within our congregation.
