Second Phase Begins & Events

During the second phase of the Foxborough Universalist Church's efforts to become a Unitarian Universalist Association "Welcoming Congregation", Jenn Mason will lead participants in an interactive workshop about stereotypes.

Many times discrimination is subtle and people are unaware that they are doing it. One of our goals is to help increase awareness and reduce discrimination in the church and our communities. Participants in the hour-long workshop beginning at 10:00 a.m. on January 13, will explore the stages of understanding, learning goals, the process, participation guidelines, and some of the psychology behind stereotypes. We'll also discuss our assumptions concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and talk of our fears and gains that we hope to make through the Welcoming Congregation process.

The Foxborough Universalist Church, a Unitarian Universalist congregation, is located at 6 Bird Street (on the common/Route 140); directions and additional information about the church, UUA, and "The Welcoming Congregation" can be found on-line via www.uufoxborough.org.
