History

What is DRUUMM?

DRUUMM stands for Diverse & Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries. It is an affiliate organization of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) that serves UUs of color.

How did DRUUMM get started?

In 1997 a racially diverse group of approximately 30 religious professionals (ministers, religious education directors, seminary students, UUA and associate organizations staff) gathered to create a support and advocacy organization for People of Color working in professional capacities within Unitarian Universalism.

In 1999, DRUUMM’s leadership became aware of the growing need for all People of Color to gather, meet and form religious community with one another. In particular, People of Color participating in or providing leadership for the Journey Toward Wholeness felt the need to affirm and strengthen the racially diverse community within Unitarian Universalism. Today DRUUMM includes not only religious professionals, but adults of all ages, youth and children.

Today…

In 2007 we have a growing DRUUMM Membership. Our goal is to connect with new members and build a strong grassroots. Become a member today and get involved in the various online and community activities available.

• This Week's Quote

  “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
  ~ by Elie Wiesel
