Zoom worship at BUUF starts at 10:00 Mountain/11:00 Central and typically lasts 75 minutes. They then go into breakout rooms for conversation. First Unitarian folks are warmly welcome to both the service and the virtual coffee hour! The guest speaker for this service is author, educator and activist, Chris Crass. Chris is one of the leading voices in the country calling for white people to work for racial justice. Chris gives talks and leads workshops on campuses and with communities and congregations around the U.S. and world, to help support justice efforts.

Chris is the author of two books. His latest, Towards the “Other America:” Anti-Racist Resources for White People Taking Action for Black Lives Matter, a call to action to end white silence and a manual on how to do it. His other book, Towards Collective Liberation: Anti-Racist Organizing, Feminist Praxis, and Movement Building Strategy, draws from his nearly 30 years as an organizer and educator and offers a firsthand look at the challenges and opportunities of anti-racist work in white communities, feminist work with men, and bringing women of color feminism into the heart of social justice. Chris’s essays have been translated into half a dozen languages, taught in hundreds of classrooms, and included in over a dozen anthologies.
