Meaning of Membership Report Is Available
August 1, 2001
A report on the meaning of membership has been completed by the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) Commission on Appraisal. The nine-member commission periodically reviews a particular aspect of the UUA.
Its report, Belonging: The Meaning of Membership, is available free online. The report was presented at General Assembly 2001 in Cleveland in June.
Chapter headings in the report include: The Process of Commitment, Theologies of Membership, Creating Thriving Congregations, Pathways to Growth, and Investing in Youth and Young Adults.
The report states: "Membership is not just a technical or legal state or a numerical measurement. It is a process that engages human beings and takes us from a starting place to a new place. (We) hope that congregations will take seriously the possibility of making membership more meaningful by paying careful attention to the paths they provide for this journey."
