Open the Circle

The nation has come a long way with the 34 year history of ADA legislation and the University of Illinois has been a pioneer in this area. UUCUC has been slow in adapting our physical space and our culture to be truly open and accessible. We know that cultural change is slow and often seems to move in circles, with laws and actions pushing our collective thinking forward, and sometimes sharp changes in thought moving us to action. How do we create a culture of radical accessibility here in our congregation? Drawing on the wisdom of EqUUal Access and theologian Julia Watts Besler, we'll beign to answer these questions together.
