7th National Conference for Large Congregations

From Perspiration to Inspiration: Spiritually Grounded Leadership for Large Congregations

Thursday - Sunday; March 13-16, 2008; Louisville, KY

Large churches face unique challenges in realizing their potential for growth, health, and spiritual vitality. Authentic leadership calls us to the effective, ethical, and spiritual use of power in our congregations. Even in the midst of the demand for such leadership our congregations can be critical of those who act outside the limits of designated authority, in order to get things done. We will explore effective ways of leading in this context.

The triennial conference for large congregations provides an inspiring context for shared learning grounded in the accomplishments and real experiences of the largest Unitarian Universalist congregations in North America. It is also an opportunity for initiating and building strong lateral relationships among those congregations and their leaders both lay and professional.
