The Unitarian Universalist 5th Principle affirms “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.” What does that mean this election year and centuries into the future? Rev. Erin Walter of the Texas UU Justice Ministry joins us in person to share a UU-grounded vision for saving democracy and building Beloved Community. (Hint: It needs you.)

Rev. Erin J. Walter (she/her/hers) is proud to serve as Minister and Executive Director for the Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry, the UU state action network for Texas. Winner of the 2017 Sermon Award from the UU Women’s Federation and board member of Texas Impact, Rev. Erin is the singer/songwriter /bassist for band Parker Woodland and considers music a spiritual practice. In 2022, her book Care for the World: Reflections on Community Ministry was published by Skinner House Books. You can find more about her music and ministry at ErinWalter.com and ParkerWoodland.com.
