Rev. Axel will be leading a 6-session discussion of the book Whose Story Is This? – Old Conflicts, New Chapters by the writer, historian and activist Rebecca Solnit.

As we head into this year’s election season, our conversation will reflect on how our UU values and principles might provide us with the grounding and guidance we need to engage the pressing issues of our day. The book asks: “Who gets to shape the narrative of our times? The current moment is a battle royale over that foundational power, one in which women, people of color, non-straight people are telling other versions, and white people and men and particularly white men are trying to hang onto the old versions and their own centrality.” The book asks what is emerging? And why does it matter?

Please consider joining us! We will be meeting on the first and third Tuesdays, at 7:00 p.m., beginning September 17th, in the Fireplace Room. Please contact Rev. Axel (minister@uucmp.org) to register, or if you have questions.
