Oct. 12 - Rev. Pat Jobe: 'Indigenous Peoples' Day'

Traditionally the U.S. has celebrated Columbus Day, which is still its official name. Many of us, who hope to shape new traditions, call it Indigenous Peoples' Day. What a wonderful idea. The landing of Columbus in the Caribbean began the hundreds of years of genocide that included insidious policies fostering hunger and limited opportunity well into the last century. Despite some progress, Native Americans remain among the poorest of our fellow citizens. Yet their art, poetry and craftsmanship remain inspiring and give great beauty to life. If you have native art or pottery, please bring it with you on Oct. 12 and we'll set up a show in the lobby of the Quaker Meeting House. The Rev. Pat Jobe joined our Fellowship on Aug. 1, 2020. He is married to his lovely spouse Gabe and is an enthusiastic supporter of UU Lake Norman, FeedNC, Heart of the Carolinas UU Animal Ministry, the Barefoot Ministry, and all work done by UUs in our area.
