Our regular Sunday Gathering. An opportunity for wisdom, joy, solace, and community – followed by a healthy dose of caffeine, cake, and conversation.

Gatherings include live music, a story for children, singing, poetry and literature, a talk from our minister, and time for sharing joys and sorrows.

The theme of this week's Gathering is 'Labelling Race'.

One of the most pernicious and persistent ways we label human beings is by race. Although the notion of racial groupings has no sound basis in biology, the habits and impacts of race-labelling remain powerful and damaging in human society.

What is the basis of race labels? Why are we so insistent on using them despite the harm they cause? What can we do about it?
