First Church and Parish - Dedham
A UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CONGREGATION - Gathered In 1638
10.06.24 -​ Jovita Idár vs. Woodrow Wilson
The Rev. Rali Weaver will preach
​
Jovita Idár was an American Journalist and teacher who defended the plight of Mexican Americans during the Mexican Revolution. In honor of Hispanic History Month, we will explore the plight of Mexican Americans through history and Idár's arguments for the inherent dignity of all.
​
We know that recent events surrounding the Karen Read trial and the increased attention to our church have been a source of concern for many of you. To address these feelings and explore ways to prevent similar situations, the Parish Committee will host a welcoming open discussion on Sunday right after worship at 11:00 am in the Meetinghouse. We warmly invite you to this important conversation. Your thoughts and ideas are valuable as we navigate these challenges together. We look forward to coming together as a community.
​
A social hour will be held after the meeting in the dining room of our Parish House. All are welcome to come and enjoy some fellowship, coffee, tea and food.

Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. We live out these Principles within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience.
