What will the funds raised for Association Sunday support?
Association Sunday 2009
"Growing Our Diversity"
The programs that Association Sunday 2009 will fund were determined through a historic collaboration between YOU, via a survey to which over 1,000 Unitarian Universalists responded, the Rev. Bill Sinkford, former president of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), and the two candidates for the UUA presidency, Rev. Laurel Hallman and Rev. Peter Morales. This year, your generous contributions will help us to develop spiritual communities that are more welcoming to ALL people by:
- Expanding the Building the World We Dream About curriculum and associated resources and training.
- Supporting congregations that are working to create a Unitarian Universalism that is racially, culturally, and economically diverse; a part of this support will be in the form of grants.
- Enabling Unitarian Universalist congregations and districts to minister effectively to youth and young adults who identify as people of color or multiracial, and to their families, in the areas of spiritual development, racial/cultural identity development, and leadership development.
Please join us in celebrating our connections in faith. We are better together!
Subsequent Association Sundays (one per year) will be devoted to the following themes: growth in witness and growth in leadership.
