Unitarian Universalists are Patriots Too!
As we honor our veterans this week, we are confronted with images
and definitions of patriotism. These may seem disconnected from our Unitarian Universalist
identity. But we can claim a patriotic identity that fits in with our UU
faith and values.
The speaker, Rev. Darrick Jackson, is the Director of Contextual Ministry at
Meadville Lombard Theological School. Before moving to Chicago he served
churches in Storrs, CT and Monson, MA. Darrick is currently the
co-chair of the UUA Nominating Committee, and the Chair of the
Transition Board at the UU Military Ministry at Great Lakes. He is also
the treasurer and Workshop Leader for Healing Moments (a ministry for
caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s). In his free time, Darrick likes
to knit and to be involved in theatre. He is married to James Olson, a
United Church of Christ minister and lives with their two cats, Merlin
and Morgana.
