Workshop Offered for Search Committees
October 1, 2001
Calling a minister? In order not to exclude any appropriate candidates consider participating in the workshop "Beyond Categorical Thinking." The workshop helps congregations examine how they might be more open to calling a minister of color, one who is bisexual, gay, lesbian, or transgender, or has a disability.
Congregations completing the weekend workshop are twice as likely to call a minister from one of these categories as those congregations that do not, says Rev. Keith Kron, director of the Unitarian Universalist Association's office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Concerns.
Cost is $250 per congregation. The entire search committee should attend the workshop but others may also choose to attend.
The workshop should be held between completion of the congregational survey and before pre-candidating visits.
