this work is at the core of our identity (theme two)

2. This work is at the core of our identity as UUs and is an essentially theological and spiritual issue for us deeply interwoven with our history
• We know our heritage of being on the front lines—and we know our shame such as the black empowerment controversy
• Many of us are “come-in-ers” and as such fear anything that might divide us (i.e. race, theological diversity) and as a result are somewhat conflict averse
• We can confuse our largest goals (i.e. a world where are all treated equally) with the need for intermediate strategies
