San
Diego County Unitarian Universalists who care about Social Justice.
Rev. Jim Grant, Retired
First Unitarian Universalist
Church of San Diego
Early years. Grew up in Asheville, North Carolina
Education. B.A. and M.A., University of Richmond,
Virginia; M.Div. Southeastern Seminary, Wake Forest University
Career. Retired. Serves as a volunteer Affiliate
Minister of First UU Church of San Diego.
How Long a UU? Been “flirting with” UU
for about 20 years, actually a UU for 15 years.
First social justice involvement. Probably in middle school, collecting
money for the March of Dimes; more specifically in high school
with some projects our church youth group did to provide food at
Christmas for persons in need.
Passion in Social Justice. Now relates to Immigration
Reform. I believe both documented and undocumented immigrants are
badly
treated. A second passion relates to justice for working people,
particularly those in service-related jobs.
Dinner guests. I don't know about 3 social justice people I'd invite
to dinner because time/events change. I suppose I would like to
invite Enrique Morones of Border Angels; Jon Fanestil, of Foundation
for Change and Rabbi Lauie Coskey.
What he'd do with $10,000. I have no idea.
“ I
invite you to move out of your comfort zone and get
involved at whatever level works for you or better
yet, at whatever level challenges you.”
