LOCATION Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville, NC 1 Edwin Place Asheville, NC 28801
KEYNOTE The Perversity of Diversity, The Reverend Mark Morrison-Reed Behind Unitarian Universalist efforts to become more diverse, there lies a surprising and painful truth. To change, we must start by accepting this truth with an honest look at who we are and why we are who we are. This ends in a conundrum, but not without hope. Torn between our reality and our aspiration, what are we to do?
Raised UU, Rev. Mark Morrison-Reed co-ministered with his wife, Donna for 26 years, serving in Rochester, NY, and Toronto, Ont. Now focused on writing and other projects, his Black Pioneers in a White Denomination is an invaluable chronicle. In Between: Memoir of an Integration Baby is his most recent work.
