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.

Led by Rev. Jim Parrish. Liberal religion views the miracle stories around Jesus as window dressings, the transient vs. the permanent message of love, tolerance, and faithfulness. How might Jesus, or any prophet of love and humanity, handle a global pandemic? Join us Sunday for “Pandemic Jesus” and other stories.
