There are over 3,000 Unitarian Universalists in the Philippines in 24 congregations and 15 newly forming fellowships. Most are located in remote rural farming and fishing villages. What can UUs from the Philippines teach us about their unique expression of our shared global faith? How can building bridges of mutuality guide American UUs on our path of becoming the anti-racist, multicultural, multi-racial church our faith calls us to be?

Rev. Kev (he/him/siyá) is an affiliated minister at First Unitarian Church of Oakland, which ordained him in 2023.
