Thanks for responding Irene. I am well aware of how #Humanist aka #Atheist dominated #UnitarianUniversalist 'Welcoming Congregations' can be 'less than welcoming' to #pagans, to say nothing of #LiberalChristians and other God believing people.

Most ironically, the First Unitarian Universalist "Church" of Houston appears to have some "token non-whites", indeed some "token Black people", and anti-white racist Sadé Perkins is one of them.
Most #UnitarianUniversalist "churches" are overwhelmingly white.

I "get" your point, but very few #UnitarianUniversalists even "self-identify" as #Christians these days.
I have long described #UnitarianUniversalism as being "90% White", however it seems #UUism has lost many of the 10% #BIPOC members it had. So it's more like 95% White now. . .

Not being a member of that Unitarian Universalist "church", & furthermore not even wanting to be a member, may well be a major part of the problem.
