“Pursuing Inclusive Justice: Crisis of the Moment, Impact for the Movement”

Zion Lutheran Church
143 Albany St, Ferndale, MI 48220
Whether you and your congregation are new to the process of becoming welcoming or if you have been inclusive for many years, this day-long conference is for you. Whether you barely tune in to the news or are a news junky, this conference will give you what you need to be informed on current concerns that have a direct impact on the congregations we serve. This is the conversation you’ve been waiting for!
“Pursuing Inclusive Justice: Crisis of the Moment, Impact for the Movement” is an opportunity to connect with other progressive religious leaders throughout the state to build strategy and network on issues that threaten to divide congregations and strip fundamental rights from targeted communities. Inclusive Justice of Michigan is a coalition of welcoming congregations dedicated to improving inclusion to LGBTQ individuals and families. Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network (MUUSJN) is a statewide network of UU congregations and allies who work together to create a more just and caring world.
This will be a hybrid conference – both in person and online. Our Keynote Presenter will be Rabbi Alana Chaya Alpert (she/her) of Congregation T’chiyah and the Founding Director of Detroit Jews for Justice. We will offer workshops on the “Best Practices of Inclusion” and “Pursing Sacred Activism.” Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Registration is free for those attending online and $10 per person for our in-person guests (with scholarships available).
