With speaker Sarah Osborn, Intern for the UU Curriculum “Beloved Conversations.” How do we widen the circle of concern and heal the impact of racism on our lives? How can we find freedom together and find collective liberation? Sarah Osborne will share her transformational experience as the intern minister for the Beloved Conversations program of the Fahs Collaborative, a program for Unitarian Universalists seeking to embody racial justice as a spiritual practice.

This Sunday, we honor the Earth with our “Climate Justice for All,” service and speaker, Shelley Buonaiuto. Many of us are very concerned about climate change and the detrimental and often disparate impacts on communities both locally and globally. We will examine these struggles and share actions we can take to accomplish positive environmental and social change. UUFF member Joanna Person-Michener will provide an overview of the issues before introducing Shelley, who will share her knowledge and experience from engaging with Arkansas Delta communities to promote climate justice.
About Shelley Buonaiuto: Shelley has been a member of Citizens’ Climate lobby since 2012. She is most active in researching and addressing the intersection of climate change and racial equity and is a regional representative for the Diversity and Inclusion Committee within Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Shelley is a sculptor who has long attempted to represent racial equity in her work and is also a mother and grandmother!

Gladys Tiffany of the OMNI Center speaks about “The Complexities of Talking Across the Abyss.” Many of us are struggling to find ways to communicate with still-dedicated Trump supporters in our state and in our lives. The difficulties are even more complicated than we already know, since they emerge from very divergent value systems, life experiences and role expectations. What are those about? This talk will touch on some of the complexities from research by Political Scientist John Hibbing on a new typology called “Securitarians,” values theory as developed by Linguist George Lakoff, and other sources.
