2023 – 2024 Dialogue Sessions

Your UUMA Board is about to launch a new season of dialogue sessions (this time with some intentionality around making sure that some of the times are focused on and work for those in non-congregational settings). Dates and times can be found below. We will be continuing our exploration of questions such as “Is it time for us to be able to set more boundaries on the time commitments of ministry so that we can maintain our balance and wellness in a turbulent and unsettling world?” ”How can we best support one another as colleagues—are our old forms working or not working for us? Are there other forms that would supplement what we do?” “How can we best support those who minister in places where their identities make them vulnerable?” and “What tools do we need to aid congregations and institutions in assessing what we do?” 

 That the world we minister in is changing is so clear to us all now. That we need one another is even clearer. Let me and the board know what questions are on your heart at a dialogue session, or by emailing board@uuma.org, or me at president@uuma.org. As we work to advocate what is needed to make ministry in all forms sustainable, we need to hear from you—your needs and your perspective. What are your concerns? Your questions? Let us hear from you.
