Widening the Circle Of Concern
Final Recommendations
Presented to the UUCB Board of Trustees
September 1, 2021, 7 pm

Dear UUCB Family,
Have you heard about the UUA “Widening the Circle of Concern” book on systemic racism and supremacy culture in the UUA and in UU Congregations?

Did you know that UUCB created a Widening the Circle of Concern Task Force that has spent the last year (August 2020-August 2021) reading the book and coming up with specific recommendations for UUCB?

Last month, at the August Board meeting (8/4) we presented a preview of what we’ve been up to. Click on this link for the document titled “WTCOC-Outline of 8-4-21 presentation to the Board“ for a summary of that presentation given in August 4, 2021.

Make sure to come to the September Board meeting (Wednesday, 9/1, 7 pm) where we will discuss our FULL recommendations report with the Board. The final report link is below.

The Widening the Circle of Concern Task Force final report is available to read here:  Widening the Circle of Concern Task Force Report to UUCB Board and Congregation 


For the ZOOM LINK to the Board meeting: (Members of UUCB, please see email from ANN HARLOW, Secretary of the Board, for the link to September 1, 2021, 7 pm Board meeting).

We hope to see you there!

Your UUCB Widening the Circle of Concern Task Force Members:
Helen Tinsley-Jones (co-facilitator), Victoria Bowen (co-facilitator), Suzette Anderson Duggan, Susan Blair, Rev. Michelle Collins, Lynne Henderson, Albert Kueffner, Elaine Miller, Lonnie Moseley, Melissa Rosales, and Cordell Sloan. Picture of Task Force Members

Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that this church occupies land in Huchiun in the unceded territory of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.  May we have the humility and courage to do our part to restore what has been broken and the wisdom to live into a new solidarity with Indigenous communities and the earth.
