We had a wonderful crowd for a wonderful workshop with Paul Kivel, an interfaith event hosted by UUSS, the UU Church of Davis, and the Sacramento Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church USA.  A freewill offering was taken to support Sacramento Black Lives Matter.  Among other materials, we provided a handout with the following information. — Rev.
