Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, Interim Minister

Robin DiAngelo's best selling (Beacon Press) book "White Fragility" has continued to stay on the Washington Times Best Seller List for weeks. For those who identify as white, it can be a challenging but illuminating read, as we begin to see the many ways in which white defensiveness about race keeps us from fully engaging in the work of dismantling racism. Building Beloved Community (BBC) will host an all-church Middle and After Hour conversations about the key points of the sermon informed by DiAngelo's work.

Swallow the Stars

Leika Lewis-Cornwell, Intern Minister asks, "What is the cost of life freely lived?"

This message will explore the stories of those who have been asked to live hidden--to "pass" in race, gender, and/or sexuality. We will consider, together, the price they paid to fit in, and the space we create to belong. This is an auction sermon purchased by Carrie Kotcho, and will be in observance of National Coming Out Day.
