Southeast District Launches Bending the Arc Campaign
Our congregations have an incredible legacy of "putting our hands on the arc" and bending it toward justice. "Bending the Arc" is a three year, $250,000 campaign to continue the bold legacy of Unitarian Universalist justice work in the Southeast. In 2010, the Southeast District Board authorized the hiring of a Racial and Social Justice Coordinator to take our racial and social justice work to the next level.

11th Annual Southeastern Conference on Cross-Cultural Issues in Counseling & Education
posted 07 November, 2011
This conference focuses on racial identity development (Black, White,
and other people of color), ethnic identity development (African American, European
American, and other ethnic groups), and gender and sexual orientation, from
infancy through adult maturity. An understanding of this development is necessary
to understand the dynamics of multi-ethnic and multi-racial groups in the United
States. The workshop embraces an anti oppressive and multi cultural perspective.
The conference will occur 10-11 February, 2012 at the Coastal Georgia Center at Georgia Southern University in Savannah. Discounted registration is available through 01 February, 2012. Please click here for details and registration information.
Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice. Things refuse to be mismanaged long. ---Rev. Theodore Parker Unitarian minister, 1853
