Liberal Religious Educators' Association
Gift of the Week—November 14, 2007Who Gave It: Liberal Religious Educators’ Association (LREDA)
How Much: $3,369.00
Who Got It: Association Sunday
How It Happened: The first annual Association Sunday was scheduled for October 14, 2007, a Sunday when most Religious Education Professionals would be attending their annual conference, and thus unable to participate with their congregations. The members of LREDA graciously accepted the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA’s) apology for this scheduling conflict, as well as the offer of having a special Sunday service during their conference with Association Moderator, Gini Courter, as speaker.
The service proved a great inspiration. LREDA members took the opportunity not only to connect spiritually with our Association of Congregations on this day, but to support Association Sunday financially as well. They diligently worked to find a way to contribute to this fundraising effort, despite the fact that the conference rarely, if ever, includes a special collection. During the closing session of their conference, LREDA members chose to pool their resources in support of Association Sunday, and collected 57 checks totaling $3,369.00.
The members of the Liberal Religious Educators’ Association meeting in San Antonio, TX, demonstrated their graciousness, professionalism, and commitment to all aspects of our movement. We deeply appreciate their persistent, pervasive, and inspirational leadership.
