RRUUC is an easy-access facility.

Resolution on Racial Justice
As individuals, we commit to a new level of engagement, to continually seek ways to use our voices, our privilege, our standing in the community to effect change.
As a congregation, we commit to turning a new page. We declare the obvious—that Black lives matter to our beloved community. We affirm the need for powerful words and collective action, both to call out injustice and to call in love.

RRUUC Land and Labor Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the land on which we worship is the traditional land of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people and the land through which other Indigenous Peoples traveled. We acknowledge that enslaved African people and their descendants likely labored and lived on this land. We recognize these and other people displaced, enslaved, or harmed by past injustices.

We pledge that we will follow our faith in love and work to make our congregation and our larger community more accessible, inclusive, and equitable. We pledge that we will be good stewards of the land by encouraging healthy ecosystems. We pledge to remember the past while building a more just and welcoming future for all.

Our Bodies, In Real Life

Sun., Aug. 22, 2021, 10:15am. Service will be available via Vimeo and Facebook Rev. Amanda Poppei Senior Minister Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington

Rev. Amanda Poppei, Senior Minister, Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, VA

As we look forward to our fall reopening and the chance to be together again–in person–inside–in real life–how are we relating to each other’s bodies, and to our own? Some of us have bodies that have changed during our time away; some of us have bodies that have always been scrutinized by others. What can we learn from virtual life, and how can we use our return to reset our relationship with embodiment? Rev. Amanda will explore consent, healthy boundaries, the concept of body neutrality, and the push-pull of an embodied life.

This service will be hosted by UUCA and can be watched via Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/uucachannel or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/UnitarianUniversalistChurchArlingtonVirginia
