Justice in the Metropolis

The Next Stage of Urban Social Ministry

Thursday, June 26, 2008, 12:15 - 1:30 PM in Ft. Lauderdale.

Over the past two decades we have seen what used to be called “the urban crisis” (urban = inner city) become “the metropolitan crisis”. Older suburbs today experience many of the changes that central cities experienced in the 1960s and 70s: changing populations, loss of Main Street businesses, declining tax bases, and job loss. Many Unitarian Universalist congregations are located in cities and inner suburbs. Urban social justice is a metropolitan concern.

This will be a small working lunch, not a large meeting. It will not appear in the General Assembly Program. We must know in advance whether you will join us on Thursday, June 26, 12:15 - 1:30 PM. If you have received an invitation, please respond by June 12th. If you have not received an invitation and would like to attend, email Rev. Tony Johnson. apjohnson@uuma.org.

We will be meeting outside the port security zone!
