On June 28, 1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Thousands gathered and the liberation movements that have followed were a direct result of prior decades of LGBTQ+ activism and organizing.

The role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, now nearly 50 years old, shows no signs of waning in popularity. Today we’ll explore the power and beauty of this wonderful art, in which players express their inner elves, warriors, wizards, druids, and goblins as, through rolls of many-sided dice, they live out the fates and dramas presented by the Dungeon Master. D&D, we’ll find, teaches UU Principles in powerful and fun ways, grounding players in rich senses of self–even as they launch themselves into flights of fantasy.

What is resistance to change? Resistance to change is unwillingness to adopt new circumstances or ways of doing things. It can happen with individuals, relationships, or within organizations. There are many reasons for resistance,
but at the heart it is rooted in fear.

Is there something within us that longs to be reborn––something that deserves new life? Thomas Merton wrote, “We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within…to be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.”

Political Scientists find that the US is more polarized than it has been at any time since the Civil War. We need national healing. It is up to us to join together and work to subvert the culture of contempt. Just as a fire requires oxygen, the culture of contempt is sustained by polarization and separation. I invite you to join us as we unpack how to resist the culture of contempt.
