International Engagement
that are Grounded, Sustainable and Integrated into Congregational Life
Saturday, March 14, 2009, at First Parish Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church, Duxbury, Massachusetts
Telephone: (781) 934-6532
8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
All are Welcome. It is recommended that congregations send Teams that include ministers and lay-leaders in worship, religious education, social justice, stewardship, and partner church work.
UU congregations have always sought to be effectively internationally engaged. Our faith teaches us that inherent worth and dignity are universal, not national. We’ve learned that connections with brothers and sisters around the world provide a unique opportunity to build peace and justice, to learn and grow in spirit, and to mentor faithful global citizenship to our children and the world. This workshop is designed to be helpful for congregations of all sizes, and at all stages in their international engagement.
