 Journey
Toward Wholeness Sunday
"Our history in regard to racial justice is brave enough to
make you proud, tragic enough to make you cry, and inept enough
to make you laugh once the anger passes." --The Rev. Mark
D. Morrison-Reed
The Journey Toward Wholeness Sunday Program is one way Unitarian
Universalist congregations can initiate their efforts toward dismantling
racism/oppression. An annual worship, education and stewardship
event, Unitarian Universalist congregations raise money to support
social justice and multicultural diversity projects within their
own communities and to support the anti-oppression work of the UUA.
Typically, participating congregations register for the program
and begin their preparations in the fall. The JTW Sunday Program
is usually celebrated in the winter/spring and involves:
- an antiracism/anti-oppression worship service
- religious education and adult spiritual development programs
- an offering taken to support the congregation's antiracism/anti-oppression
work and UUA's Whitney M. Young, Jr. Urban
Ministry Grants
- an opportunity for the congregation to organize its own antiracism
social justice community work and share their stories.
As a congregation moves forward in their efforts toward becoming
antiracist, anti-oppressive, multicultural organizations, Journey
Toward Wholeness Sunday then becomes a time to celebrate, reflect
on and recommit to their continued work.
