The Unitarian
Universalist Church of Cheyenne has
been very supportive of Occupy Cheyenne during its formative phase. We've held
several GAs at the church, as well as sign-making sessions before public
actions at the State Capitol and the Depot Plaza. UU Church members Leah Zegan
and Forrest King and others have been very welcoming. I'm not a member but,
during the past five years, I've been inside the walls of this church much more
often than I have been in any other, including the two local Catholic
churches (and one big downtown cathedral) that represent my faith tradition.
I am drawn to the UU's commitment
to social justice. This Sunday, Jan. 8, at 10:30 a.m., Rev. Dana Lightsey will
conduct a service with the theme of "Occupy Your Heart." Here's a
short description:
Time magazine's person of the year for 2011 is "the protester." Our world is being changed by mass protests all over the world. What are the common themes of these protests and what can we learn from them to make our world a better place for all?
