Imagining Abolition
Today’s Topic:
At GA 2025, our delegates chose Abolition, Transformation, and Faith Formation as our denomination-wide study-action issue. In order to begin thinking about prison abolition, we need to be able to imagine the world in which it is possible. What needs to change in order to get everyone truly free? It starts with theology, believe it or not.
Rev. Dr. Michael Tino (they/them) is the co-Lead Minister of the Church of the Larger Fellowship (CLF), our UU congregation without borders or walls. CLF’s membership includes some 2,000 incarcerated Unitarian Universalists, whose voices will be present in the worship service. Michael has been a UU religious professional since 1998, and has served on the UUA Board, the first Presidential Search Committee, and now as co-chair of the Ministerial Fellowship Committee. They live in Peekskill, NY with their husband and daughter.
