Service Description:

Sheri Thomas from Channing Memorial UU Church in Ellicott City, Maryland, will explore how Unitarian Universalism’s first two principles: promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and justice, equity and compassion in human relations, can inspire us to embrace advocacy and acceptance and help remove the stigmas surrounding physical disabilities and mental health conditions.
