Christian Resources
Dec. 8 is the second Sunday in Advent. We’ve prepared sermon talking points to include anti-torture themes into an Advent sermon. Also, you might incorporate Human Rights Day into your candle lighting service – for example, see a liturgy from the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program. Or you could include a petition in the prayers of the people. For prayers you can use or adapt for your church, go to our Christian prayers for Human Rights Day page.
Unitarian Universalist Resources
In collaboration with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, NRCAT has developed some additional programming and resources specifically for Unitarian Universalist congregations.
