Something For the Moment
Post Institute Comp Time: After working incredibly demanding schedules for weeks to prepare for the 2026 Institute, the UUMA staff will be taking some well earned time off. Each staff member will have a different schedule of how they take time to recover and we appreciate your generosity of spirit as we continue to move important UUMA programs forward during a time of lower capacity.
In this reduced version of our weekly update we are holding up some programs that are starting soon. Thank you for helping spread the word:
AI and the Interdependent Web: AI is part of our changing world and part of the daily lives of our people. We need to talk about it. This six-session series invites Unitarian Universalist ministers into a shared, values-centered exploration of artificial intelligence and its implications for ministry, ethics, justice, and pastoral care. There is a $100 cost for this class with a limit of 12 participants per section. Scholarships are available. Dr. Emma K. Farrell, Ph.D., Facilitator. Click on the session below to register.

Meet the Moment: Strategic Risk Assessment and Engagement for Ministers: Ministers are serving in a time when threats to our people, our communities, and our values are constant and evolving. This spring cohort will offer a supportive and grounded space for religious leaders to better understand the risks present in their specific contexts and to develop thoughtful, values-aligned strategies for responding.
