A discussion guide is available for “the Unitarian Universalist Association’s “Common Read,”” is The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement is Overcoming the Politics of Division and Fear by The Rev. Dr. William Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.

A paperback edition of the book is now available from the UU Book and Gift Shop, with bulk discounts available.

The discussion guide can be downloaded from http://www.uua.org/re/adults/read. It includes plans for both a single session and three more in-depth sessions.

From the Common Read website: “A Common Read invites participants to read and discuss the same book in a given period of time. A Common Read can build community in our congregations and our movement by giving diverse people a shared experience, shared language, and a basis for deep, meaningful conversations.”

Nominate next year’s ‘Common Read’
The UUA is accepting nominations for its “Common Read” for 2017-2018. Anyone can nominate a book, but nominations from congregations or groups receive priority over nominations by single individuals.

When considering books, the evaluation committee considers several questions about the book, including its relevance to Unitarian Universalism, an engaging and accessible read, and expressions of interest in the book by UU congregations and groups.
