| UUMF! Camp A Camp for Unitarian Universalist Multiracial Families We are busy planning for UUMF! Camp 2015. |
For young adoptees of color, as I once was, growing up in a congregation with [many other] Persons of Color is extremely important. This is likely a fantasy for many children of color in our congregations today. Thus, Multiracial & Family of Color Camps can play a key role in fostering relationships and creating space for dialogue around difficult issues with a supportive cast... There is a connection that happens in a more equitably racially diverse setting. This feeling of connection may be occasional given our dominant White super-majority in our congregations. But creating these opportunities in a consistent and long-term way will ultimately benefit not only our faith community as a whole in the short-term, but set a strong and visible example for the next generation. - Rev. Joseph Santos-Lyons |  |
