In the Larger Community

Film Screening of Invisible No More at East Shore Unitarian Church, 9/22/24 at 11:30 a.m. followed by lunch and a Q&A with filmmaker Vivian Hao.

Although Asian Pacific Islanders (API) are the fastest-growing racial group in the U.S., they remain virtually invisible in the Unitarian Universalism (UU) denomination. Today, few UU congregations count more than a handful of APIs in their midst, even in cities where APIs make up 30-60 percent of the general population.
 
This film project was sponsored through a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Association and directed by Vivien Hao. Forty five Unitarian Universalist Asian Pacific Islanders were interviewed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington/Boston during 2022/23. Interviews were coordinated with local UU congregations. East Shore Unitarian was one of them.
 
Invisible No More highlights API UU contributions toward building that dream both within our own faith and in the greater community. This film is an invitation for others to come forward to advance the tenets of our faith: inclusivity, tolerance, and respect for the earth and all who live here. We support each individual’s search for truth and meaning in a community that loves alike without necessarily thinking alike.
