A non-contemplative workshop experience with Gini Courter
 
We live in a country in desperate need of Unitarian Universalist values, lived large. If we want our communities to become more just, more equitable, more compassionate, we must focus our congregations to serve the change we want to see. This afternoon, we’ll talk about:
bullet Welcoming and hospitality
bullet Unitarian Universalist identity
bullet Governance – yes, governance – and why we should even care
bullet Shared ministry
bullet Doing church, doing justice
 
It’s time to organize ourselves in transparent, caring, and effective ways. Let's light our chalice, pull out the gasoline can, and see what happens.
