Compact Disc Has Essays on Congregational Life
August 15, 2005
A CD with audio recordings of 21 essays about congregational life—topics range from dealing with disruptive people, attracting young adults, and developing new leaders—has been produced by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Lay Leadership Development office and is being distributed free to congregational leaders.
The CD was conceived as a way to help congregations share their success stories with each other and to get practical information into the hands of congregational leaders. “Part of the practicality of a CD is that lay leaders can listen to it in the car on the way to work or while running errands,” says the Rev. Harlan Limpert, director of the UUA’s District Services Staff Group (layleadesrhip @ uua.org) and former director for lay leadership development.
Copies of the CD with essays from lay leaders, ministers, UUA staff, and InterConnections, were made available at General Assembly. In August or September, four copies will also be mailed to each congregational president for distribution to lay leaders.
“Lay leaders have been asking us to help them be more effective in their leadership roles,” says Limpert, who directed the CD project. “This CD, which we expect will be part of a series of such CDs, is an effort by the Association to respond in a creative way to the needs of congregational leaders.”
Contact your district executive for additional copies of the CD.
