In a time of vast and growing social and economic inequality, the 2017 Commission on Appraisal examines the impact of class and classism on Unitarian Universalism—its association, congregations, members, and friends. Classism thwarts Unitarian Universalism’s vital work of building community and giving life the shape of justice. With its in-depth analysis of our faith’s history, theologies, and current structures and its final recommendations and resources for future work, Class Action is a must-read for all looking to live more fully into the faith and vision of Unitarian Universalism. The Commission on Appraisal was inaugurated by the bylaws of the Unitarian Universalist Association in 1961. The Commission is charged to review, study, and report on any function or activity of the Association that would benefit from an independent review, and to report the results at least once every four years to the General Assembly. The members of this Commission are:Peter Kandis, Vice Chair, Hilton Head Island, South CarolinaRev. Xolani Kacela, Ph.D., Treasurer, Durham, North CarolinaVirginia Abraham, Secretary, Port Charlotte, FloridaKathleen Henry, Project Manager, Truro, MassachusettsKatie Romano Griffin, Chaplain, Fort Myers, Florida
