What the UUA Can Do

October 19, 2004

Congregations on the Journey
General Assembly 2004
Transformation Committee for Wholeness and Justice

Requests Along the Way
We asked participants in the two “Congregations on the Journey” workshops facilitated by the Transformation Committee for Wholeness and Justice and General Assembly 2004 in Long Beach, California to list some suggestions of things the Unitarian Universalist Association could do to assist them in their efforts. Here is what they said.

What the UUA Can Do:

 More Coordination with Transformation Committee (email list, bulletin board, something on website).
 CD or Video Training for churches that have committees (for new members) or for church that want to start a committee.
 Sharing of ideas for training and projects
 newsletter or link on website (UUA)
 Postings of trainings or training material
 localized or regional training
 Information and communication
 email, website, newsletter
 video trainings (alternatives for small, far away groups).
 share ideas from others
 posting training dates
 more local/regional trainings
 more work on the basics of congregationally based organizing

    I’m excited to see this site up. Was talking to Ian Maher about it today. There is a group organizing a stakeholder meeting – is there a relationship with the new Transformation for Wholeness and Justice committee? Is this blog going to stay up and running?

    Hi Joseph,

    This blog is definitely going to stay up and running. It is a big part of our committment as a committee to transparancy in our work.

    I was very excited to hear abou the stakeholder meeting being organized. Kim Varney called to be sure we knew about its organization.

    Right now I personally believe that it is important that this be a grassroots effort – since there has been so much resistance to it being more staff driven than that. There is a real power in insisting on – and claiming – personal voice. That said, I am planning to be there.

    What an important event!

    Hi Sophia and the rest of the committee. Terrific, this blog could become a real dicsussion ground. I just started a blog as well and there is such a need for this transparency in our work. Have you seen philocrites.com that Chris Walton manages? It gets several thousand visits a week. Pretty impressive. Take care, see you at GA. Joseph
