Keynote Speaker: Rev. Peter Morales, President of the UUA |
|
We will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Joseph Priestley District on Friday night. On Saturday we will explore the present with a vast assortment of workshops and a special conversation with the Gathered Here process.
Gathered Here will give shape to a shared vision for the future of our faith and the ways in which we, as religious leaders, will advance our faith on local and national levels. Based on Appreciative Inquiry, an approach to organizational change that builds on what's working rather than trying to fix what's not, the process will engage you and other UUs, congregations, and groups in conversations that forge new relationships and create new possibilities for the future of Unitarian Universalism.
We will finish out the District Assembly on Sunday with President Peter Morales speaking to our future and helping us set our course for the next fifty years in the Middle Atlantic region.
We will also feature great worship, fellowship, and exhibits as we gather for this special weekend. Plan now to attend. Space will be limited and we expect a full house.
