Embracing multiculturalism requires us to confront White privilege. This isn't an issue of individual character. Confronting privilege means challenging an oppressive system through intentional action. But even the word "privilege" can stir up some challenging emotions. Rather than feeling powerless or shameful, we're going to identify meaningful ways that we can intentionally dismantle barriers so that all people "matter" in our congregation and in our society. Our Unitarian Universalist principles call all of us to develop the capacity and the skill to take meaningful and hopeful action.
