Welcome! The Women and Religion Movement is alive and well in the 21st Century. A grassroots project started by lay leaders in the 1970s as an effort to promote examination of religious roots of sexism and patriarchy within the UUA and beyond, UU Women and Religion officially began as a task force following the unanimously-passed WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION at the 1977 UUA General Assembly. Although the Task Force was eventually sunsetted, the movement still exists in UU communities that hold Women & Religion programs and gatherings for those who identify as women. It exists at the UU General Assembly, where UUW&R brings our Store to the Exhibit Hall and occasionally hosts a gathering. And it lives in the hearts and lives of people who have been touched by the many changes inspired by this movement.

"We do not want a piece of the pie. It is still a patriarchal pie. We want to change the recipe!" -- Rosemary Matson

A hot dish for a cold night

Black Beans and Corn with Green Chiles

 

1 can (15 oz) of black beans
1 cup (frozen or canned) corn kernels
1 small can (4 oz.) of chopped green chiles
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp (or more) fresh, chopped cilantro (coriander)
pinch of kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
fresh lime or lemon juice (optional)

Pour can of beans into a strainer set over the sink; add frozen corn to the beans in the strainer. If necessary, run warm water over the beans and corn until the beans are well-rinsed and the corn is mostly thawed. Put beans, corn, and chiles into a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave on high, just until warmed through. Add olive oil, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add a quick squeeze of lime or lemon juice, if desired. Stir again, and serve with cornbread.

Yield: four servings, as a side dish
