“Expanding the Circle of Compassion: Animals in Unitarian Universalism”
by Rev. John Millspaugh
In the Series: “Let’s Connect UU Social Justice” our next Speaker is Rev. John Millspaugh
When: Saturday, November 16, 2024 with Zoom Online
What time: 10:00am Pacific, 1:00pm Eastern, 2:00pm Atlantic, 20:00 Finland
Unitarian Universalists (UUs) have long been committed to Animal Care and Justice, from the founding of North America’s first Unitarian church to today’s organized advocacy efforts. Since the 1980s, the Unitarian Universalist Animal Ministry has grown into a strong movement with over 40 local chapters in the U.S. and Canada, promoting animal protection and ethical treatment.
This presentation will explore UU history in animal advocacy, current justice issues, and the impactful work of UU congregations. In 2024, the UUA updated its Principles, moving from general respect for “the interdependent web of all existence” to a covenant to “protect all beings from exploitation” through “relationships of care, respect, mutuality, and justice.”
Rev. John Gibb Millspaugh, Executive Director of the UU Animal Ministry, has been dedicated to animal justice for many years. With degrees from Harvard Divinity and the Kennedy School of Government, he left congregational ministry in 2015 to focus full-time on animal advocacy. His 2024 investigative report, covered widely by *The Atlantic*, has sparked renewed interest in UU animal justice efforts.
Rev. Millspaugh lives in San Diego, California, with his family. His journey promises to inspire UUs and allies seeking to advance animal justice.
