Immigrant Voices: Creating a New History Through Spoken Word PDF Print E-mail

March 9, 7-9:30 pm, Worship Center

Immigration As a Moral Issue PDF Print E-mail

Saturdays, Feb. 4 through March 10  at 1 pm

Registration required

An intense look at several aspects of the issues of immigration and migration. Not a class for wusses; certainly a class for those who want to know what all the UU fuss is about. We will vary a bit from the UU-designed curriulum to include a local expert of two. 

The curriculum is on line and there is homework. You might as well get a peek at what homework you need to complete before the first class. http://uua.org/immigration/moral/guide/index.shtml

Facilitated by Jolinda Stephens, Director of Religious Education.
