The Unitarian Universalist Association recently sent out information about Leading Congregations into a Multiracial, Multicultural Future, a conference that’s taking place in February, 2008. I’m very interested in the topic — here at First Unitarian in New Bedford, we’re slowly heading towards becoming a multiracial, multicultural congregation — but I want to be really sure the conference is worth the thousand dollars per person it will cost if we send people from New Bedford.
So I’d love to know if any of you attended this conference last year. If you attended last year, are you going again this year? and did last year’s conference help you to effect change within your congregation? Tell us about your experiences in the comments….
hey dear –
I’ll give you my vote that you consider coming! I didn’t do the program last year, but I did study for a week with the keynote/presenter Jackie Lewis and she’s brilliant. And you know I’m cynical on such things. Let’s talk, someday soon!
