SUMMARY:Crow Lecture with Brittany K. Barnett
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 at 6:00 pm\nSanctuary\, First Unitarian Church\n4015 Normandy Ave\, Dallas\, TX\, 75205\nClick to register. \nJoin us for a lecture and Q&A at 6:00 pm followed by a book signing at 7:00 pm. \nFirst Unitarian Church of Dallas presents The Tom and Charley Crow Lecture with Brittany K. Barnett. \nA nationally recognized attorney\, author\, and philanthropist\, Brittany K. Barnett has spent her career proving that the impact of the criminal legal system should never define a person’s potential. Through post-conviction work\, she has won freedom for more than 70 men and women serving unjust sentences—most of them life without parole—under federal drug laws\, and is one of the few attorneys in the country to secure clemency for clients across multiple presidential administrations. \nHer commitment is personal. As the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother\, Brittany knows firsthand how incarceration devastates families and entire communities. That understanding shapes everything she builds. \nAs founder and managing attorney of the Law Office of Brittany K. Barnett\, she leads a practice spanning federal criminal defense\, corporate\, and entertainment law. She also advises entertainers and executives on business\, reputational\, and strategic matters. She is the founder of Manifest Freedom\, which invests in entrepreneurs impacted by the criminal legal system\, works to end extreme sentencing\, and uses art and storytelling to change how the country sees justice. The organization houses the Buried Alive Project\, which fights to free people serving life sentences for federal drug offenses\, and through Girls Embracing Mothers\, Brittany has supported thousands of women and girls impacted by maternal incarceration. \nBrittany is the acclaimed author of A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope\, Justice\, and Freedom\, named Amazon’s #1 Best Book of 2020\, an NAACP Image Award nominee\, and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. Her TED Talk has been viewed more than 1.7 million times\, and her work has been featured on Hillary Clinton’s Gutsy\, NPR’s Fresh Air\, Good Morning America\, CNN\, and in The Washington Post\, Essence\, and The Atlantic. In 2025\, she was named to Variety’s Dealmakers List. \nThe Tom and Charley Crow Lecture is presented in honor of the Crow brothers and their quest of truth as a sacrament and of knowledge in freedom. These lectures focus on rational dialogue\, boldly exploring the most important core topics facing our nation\, stressing logical\, philosophical and sociological bases of positions\, while both avoiding and exposing fallacies of fact and argument without rancor.

SUMMARY:Ingathering Sunday: Liberating Faith | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter
DESCRIPTION:Ingathering is our kick–off to the church year. Let’s come together to renew our bonds and celebrate the journey ahead. \nLiberating Faith\nLiberation begins with the belief that another world is possible. It takes root whenever people find the strength to resist injustice\, as well as the willingness to continue learning. Our Unitarian Universalist faith calls us to live in ways that make freedom more real for everyone\, everywhere.  \nOur 2026–2027 theme year\, Liberating Faith\, opens the door to that sacred work. Throughout this year\, we will develop the spiritual tools needed to break free from fear and assumption so that we can live more authentically\, seek reconciliation where there is division\, and help create communities where every person can flourish.  \nWe start on the path toward liberation by taking stock of what is true about who we are individually\, but we do not stop there. As we grow into being more honest and courageous individuals\, we will become better neighbors\, better friends and better co-builders of beloved community.   \nRev. Dr. Daniel Kanter is preaching\, music provided by the Sanctuary Choir and Festival Brass \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY

SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with Naomi Shihab Nye
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with acclaimed Palestinian-American poet\, essayist\, and educator Naomi Shihab Nye as she reads from her new collection\, Sidekick. \nSidekick stands as a testament to poetry’s enduring power to bear witness. With each poem\, Nye affirms a truth that feels more urgent than ever: every human being deserves safety\, dignity\, and peace. \nDrawing on her family’s deep roots in Palestine\, Nye writes with both abiding love and immeasurable heartbreak\, offering intimate reflections that illuminate the human cost of conflict. Long a champion of dialogue across borders and divides\, she crafts poems that are direct\, conversational\, and unafraid to confront the systems and structures that perpetuate harm. \nThrough her signature blend of candor\, lyrical grace\, and careful attention to everyday lives\, Nye offers a collection that urges readers to look more closely\, feel more deeply\, and imagine a world in which we refuse to turn away from one another. \nCopies of Sidekick will be available for purchase at the event through Interabang Books. \nAbout the Author \nNaomi Shihab Nye is the author and/or editor of more than thirty volumes including five collections of poetry from Boa Editions: Red Suitcase (1994)\, Fuel (1998)\, You & Yours (2005)\, Transfer (2011)\, and The Tiny Journalist (2019). She has been a Lannan Fellow\, a Guggenheim Fellow and a Witter Bynner Fellow. Nye has received the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets\, the Texas Writer Award 2024\, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from The Texas Institute of Letters\, the Arab American National Museum\, and the National Book Critics Circle. She lives in San Antonio\, TX.

SUMMARY:The Real Real | Truth\, Healing Reconciliation\, & Transformation | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:Truth gets more elusive every day. Maybe that is a good thing. We discuss how old ideas of truth give way to new ones and what hope that holds. \nRev. T. J.
