Worship: “Advocacy and Acceptance”

Guest Speaker Sheri Thomas, service leader Cheryl Parsons and worship associate Dan Cozort, will explore how promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person and justice, equity and compassion in human relations, can inspire us to embrace advocacy and acceptance and help remove the stigmas surrounding physical disabilities and mental health.

Sheri, a worship assistant and board member at Channing Memorial Church, Unitarian Universalist, in Ellicott City, MD, spent decades breaking down barriers and promoting full accessibility as part of various disability commissions and committees in Maryland.  Her book, “IMBALANCED: A Memoir” traces Sheri’s remarkable journey from a front-page headline in 1962 to her current role as an advocate fighting to remove the stigmas surrounding physical disabilities and mental health.
