Dear UUSS community~

This month our discussion topic for Brewed Awakenings and The(*)logies on Tap was courage, and there were great conversations on how we each learned about what our parents or other adults considered courageous, and what wasn’t, and how our own understanding of courage may have changed over our lifetime.

As we near the end of February and Black History Month, here are a few resources to learn more about a few of the courageous Black Unitarian Universalists, and the history of our faith.

Rev. Lewis McGee, a humanist and minister in the mid 1900’s, https://www.uuteachin.org/copy-of-teachin2-education-child-yo

May we each live with courage, and acknowledge the bravery we see in one another~ Rev. Lynn and Rev. Wendy
