The first Unitarian Universalist Leadership School was held in the Pacific Northwest District in 1975 "to serve the needs of the Pacific Northwest District member congregations by increasing the supply and distribution of leadership talents. In each of our societies whether ministered or not, there is a great and continuing need for people who will undertake the programs and activities that make membership in that society worthwhile and fulfilling." The UU Leadership School concept has grown and there are now 11 UU Leadership Schools in North America and one in Great Britain. Since 1975, over 3,000 UUs have been involved in the schools. All schools are similar in content, including focus on Organizational/Leadership Development, Theology/Religious Values and Heritage, and Worship. All utilize a variety of learning formats which include large and small group work, with the emphasis on participatory learning, creating a climate in which all gain confidence and expertise in the totality of the church leadership experience.

Its mission affirms the worth, dignity and human rights of every person, and the interdependence of all life. UUSC's work for justice began in 1939, when its founders helped the victims of fascism escape from Europe during and after World War II. For more that five decades, UUSC has supported projects in the U.S. and many other countries to promote health care, education, leadership development, family planning, human rights, agriculture, women's empowerment, community self-help efforts, child welfare and other initiatives that help freedom and justice to flourish. UUSC is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization whose support comes from more than 17,000 individual members, and from Unitarian Universalist congregations and private foundations that share our commitment to building a better, more just world. Advocating for Human Rights UUSC is a leader in the struggle for peace, justice and respect for human rights. Recognizing that social change often hinges on political change, UUSC sponsors public policy and advocacy initiatives on both domestic and international issues. UUSC's Promise the Children program addresses the crisis of childhood poverty and hunger in U.S. UUSC volunteers advocate for programs and policies on behalf of the children in their local communities and state legislatures, and Congress. UUSC has long been at the forefront of advocating for peace and justice in Central America. UUSC has hosted members of Congress and other leaders on 19 fact-finding delegations since 1978, and helped create the political climate that led to reduced U.S. Military aid and the 1992 signing of the El Salvador Peace Accords. UUSC's program on the Philippines has increased public awareness of the political and economic challenges in that country, and of the U.S. government's responsibility for cleanup of toxic wastes left at former U.S. military bases. UUSC supports project partners in grassroots organizations in ten countries. Through grants in agriculture, health care, family planning and small-scale economic development projects, UUSC helps individuals and communities become more self-reliant, improve their living conditions and determine their own futures. UUSC does not place staff or volunteers to work on its overseas projects. UUSC focuses on the needs and aspirations of women, providing skill training, leadership development, reproductive health care and family life education. During emergencies, such as the war and famine in the Horn of Africa, volcanic eruptions in the Philippines or political repression in Central America, UUSC provides immediate relief and aid and support for reconstruction efforts. UUSC has received major funding from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for its North-South Partnership in Action Plan. The Plan provides UUSC's overseas partners with institutional and project- specific support to build grassroots leadership and create networks among people working for social change and self- sufficiency. Educating and Mobilizing UUSC members and volunteers organize activities in their own communities to promote UUSC's domestic and international priorities. To support these outreach efforts, UUSC produces fact sheets, videos, study/action guides, and other educational materials that provide background information and suggestions for advocacy and action. Through its Volunteer Network, Congregational Partnerships and Promise the Children program, UUSC coordinates educational and social justice programs in hundreds of Unitarian Universalist congregations and community organizations. UUSC volunteers develop local service projects, study groups and special events on such issues as childhood hunger and U.S. policies abroad. UUSC sponsors Action Alert Networks on Central America and on children at risk in the U.S. Network members receive Action Alert mailings on timely legislation and are called upon to advocate on behalf of UUSC policy priorities to their senators and representatives. UUSC is its Members UUSC would not exist without its 17,000 members--people who share our ideals and support UUSC with their contributions. Members receive the quarterly Service Committee News and are eligible to vote in annual elections for members of the Board of Directors. UUSC is governed by an elected Board of Directors and has a staff of 40 at its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its office in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of volunteers serve as local and regional UUSC representatives in congregations and communities throughout the United States. UUSC values its independence as a voluntary, member-supported organization and does not accept funding from the U.S. Government. UUSC is an associate member of the Unitarian Universalist Association but receives no operating support from the Association. Membership donation is $25; $10 for college students and senior citizens. Unrestricted gifts of $50 or more are matched by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock in Manhasset, New York.

UUA PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES - WHAT DO UUS BELIEVE? (See also in Spanish and ???does anyone have a translation in french, considering that Quebec is in the UUA??? .) Principles We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: The inherent worth and dignity of every person; Justice, equality and compassion in human relations; Acceptance of one another end encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all; Respect for the interdependant web of all existence of which we are a part. The living tradition we share draws from many sources: Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life; Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion and the transforming power of love; Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethnical and spiritual life; Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbours as ourselves; Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit. Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support. Purposes The Unitarian Universalist Association shall devote its resources to and excercise its corporate powers for religious, educational and humanitarian purposes. The primary purpose of the Association is to serve the needs of its member congregations, organize new congregations, extend and strengthen Unitarian Universalist institutions, and implement its principles.

Our Purposes The Unitarian Universalist Musicians Network is dedicated to furthering the cause of music and musicians in churches and fellowships of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Our purposes are: To provide the community of UU musicians with a network of mutual support, education, information, and opportunities for professional and spiritual growth. To encourage a unity of purpose among musicians and religious leaders within our churches and fellowships. To lead the denomination in establishing a spiritual and aesthetic climate which encourages excellence and diversity among those who serve in its ministry of music. To provide assistance and advice, as well as worship and music resources, to the Unitarian Universalist Association, particularly in its provisions of new material for common worship, services of celebration, and religious education. To reveal and celebrate that breadth and wealth of the world's music which expresses and embodies the values of Unitarian Universalism. Our Members UUMN members are music directors, conductors, singers, instrumentalists, composers, ministers, music committee members, and members of congregations. We are amateurs and professionals, ranging from highly experienced to novice. Our membership also includes congregations who support the UUMN's work and purposes. The UU Musicians Network has over 300 members, representing music leaders, musicians, and churches across North America. Membership Benefits --The UUMN Newsletter, published at least three times a year. --Copies of UUMN publications, including Guidelines for Church Musicians, and Making Music in Our Churches. --Eligibility to attend the annual UUMN summer conference. --Music resources, such as choral music, music for children and youth, and hymns and songs for services and other gatherings. --Regional services, including liaisons and a talent bank listing members' skills. Regional liaisons stimulate regional activities and listen to members' concerns; see the enclosed list for the names and phone numbers of the current liaisons. --Member congregations receive the same benefits as individuals. The Summer Conference UUMN members convene each summer to improve skills and exchange ideas on music for UU churches and fellowships. This opportunity for learning and fellowship includes workshops, reading sessions for choral music, presentations of new music, and worship. The conference is held in a different part of the continent each year. Projects and Activities UUMN membership supports activities such as commissioning music, grants for music projects to districts and local congregations, and publishing. The Signature Series Music tailored to UU choirs and congregations is published jointly with the UUA. Publications in three series are available: Signature Choral Series for adult choirs. Signature Songbook collections for congregational services, children's services, and informal gatherings. Christopher Moore Choral Series for children and youth choirs. Commissions and Competitions The UUMN commissions anthems by UU composers, and administers the biennial Silliman Anthem competition. "Good Offices" Under the aegis of the UUMN Professional Concerns Committee, "good offices" persons counsel and assist UU music staff members with questions and problems related to their work; for example, in relations between the musician and the local clergy or congregation. See the enclosed list for the names and phone numbers of the current good offices persons. Music for General Assembly The UUMN is responsible for providing music and musicians to the annual General Assembly of the UUA. A Short History The UUMN was formed at a meeting during the 1982 General Assembly. A continental mailing invited broader membership. In 1983, the UUMN Newsletter began publication and the first summer conference was held in Boston. An elected board and executive committee governs the UUMN. Board members are drawn from across the continent and serve staggered terms. Every two years the executive committee is elected from a different region of the continent. The UUMN took an active role in the development of the new UUA hymnbook, Singing the Living Tradition. UUMN members served on the Hymn-book Commission. The Network provided support in raising development funds, collecting and evaluating material, and helping to introduce the new book to congregations and their leaders.

They adjust their tactics to whatever they find most useful for raising money. Their former prime target was abortion clinics, but they have found that they can raise more money by targetting lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people.

WHAT IS UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISM? From Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary: denomination: a religious organization uniting in a single legal an d administrative body a number of local congregations. UUism is a 400-year-old tradition, with roots over a thousand years older and more than 100,000 current members in North America, about 75% of whom are college graduates. "What Unitarians Believe" will vary from one individual to another, but you will usually find the following common characteristics: We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. We believe in the authority of reason and conscience, and the never-ending search for truth. We believe in the importance of the democratic and consensus processes, and the necessity of things like community, good group dynamics, caring, and connectivity. The Unitarian Universalist Association is a church denomination; much of its heritage and that of its root faiths - Universalism and Unitaroamism - revolves around controversies which began with the Council of Nicea in 356 C.E. and which grew during the early Middle Ages and the Protestant Reformation. The names of those early faiths came from beliefs in "universal salvation" and the "unity (as opposed to Trinity) of God". With those heretical foundations as a start, contemporary UUism has evolved into an alternative to creed-based religions, a melting-pot of the religious ideas of the world, and a home for individual reconciliation of meaning and worth with the stark realities of life and death. UU sermons, workshops, retreats, and conferences tend to have as themes such issues as personal growth, social action, relationships and marriage, civil rights, career development, homelessness, religions, the environment,... If you live in a metropolitan area of 100,000 or more (and even some smaller), there are very likely one or more Unitarian Universalist churches, fellowships, or societies near you. Check your local phone book. Most have day-care and children's programs and youth groups, and many are now developing programs and peer and social groups for young (college and early professional) adults. Adult forums and discussion groups often preceed Sunday morning services, and there are often various events going on at the church during the week.

WHAT IS PROCESS THEOLOGY? The Harper Dictionary of Modern Thought (rev. ed.) defines (sexist language in the quote has been updated): process theology: A modern form of Christian theism which takes acc ount of modern science, especially the knowledge of evolution, and wh ich teaches that God's way of working in the world is a slow process, patiently overcoming the elements of chance and evil present in the universe and including in itself all the good that is brought about. The emphasis is on God's involvement rather than God's self-sufficie ncy, God's love rather than God's omnipotence. The chief philosopher in this movement was A.N. Whitehead (1861-1947); the chief populariz er of a Christ-centered vision of the meaning of evolution was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In neo-orthodoxy, however, the position has be en attacked as encouraging pantheism. Last uploaded on June 16, 1996.

It is from "Quest", the monthly newsletter for religious liberals published by the Church of the Larger Fellowship, Unitarian Universalist. You may reproduce it, provided credit is given to the author and to the Church of the Larger Fellowship, 25 Beacon Street, Boston Massachusetts 02108, USA. Phone: 617-742-2100. In many parts of the country, Pagan groups are forming and they provide a religious alternative to Judaism, Christianity and the religions of the Far East. Old myths are being re-told and reinterpreted to meet the needs of people today. This revival and transformation of old Pagan traditions is of interest to Unitarian Universalists in at least three ways: The first is what we might call the internalization of religion. Contemporary Pagans speak of the God or Goddess within each of us. Their rituals are intended to awaken a heightened sense of wholeness and selfhood. "Thou art Goddess," they say to each other; "thou art God." They practice a religion that places divinity within the person. Myths are accepted as ways of telling the story of our inner journeys. Since the divine is experienced as internal, it is described in female as well as male terms. In the Old Religion of the ancient word, for many thousands of years the chief deity was female, because the female was experienced as the primary source of new life. She was sacred. UUs have for the most part rejected belief in a supernatural God while insisting that we are religious people. Like the Pagans we too tend to describe the divine as internal, as a spiritual journey toward full selfhood, toward awareness of our potential. We come together much as the Pagan covens do, to share our stories and to work on the questions we have about life. The second way in which the contemporary pagan religion is of interest to us is in its concern for the well- being of the earth. Just as the divine is within human beings as the shape of our creativity, so also is the divine immanent in all of nature. Pagans, like many UUs, see themselves as interdependent or connected with every part of the natural world. Such a view has not been characteristic of Judaism or Christianity. These traditions have tended to keep God separate from the world, and human beings separate from the rest of nature. We have taken the position either that God created us at the beginning of time to rule over nature, or that we have evolved as the ultimate achievement of nature and are therefore superior to all the rest and should be in control of it. Neither of these views does much to put us in harmony with the rest of nature. Pagans celebrate the cycles of nature, the seasons, the waxing and waning of the moon, the life stages of human beings. And they combine these celebrations with a modern scientific understanding of the way things change. For many UUs, Christmas has become a celebration of the winter solstice and Easter a celebration of the spring equinox. In moving away from the idea of a divine savior, we have returned to the more ancient awareness of religion as our relationship with the cycles of the natural world. This emphasis is crucial if we are to avoid complete ecological disaster. A third characteristic of Pagan religion is its non-authoritarian attitude. Leadership is shared, and there is no hierarchy. Freedom and responsibility for ones own life and belief is central just as it is for UUs. Do as you will so long as you harm no one is the rule of Pagan religion. There are no creeds, no scriptures handed down. The creativity within each person is tapped, and new poetry, new meditations, new stories are written. Perhaps it should not surprise us that our values make us kindred spirits with Pagans. These values may seem familiar and comfortable to us, but they are by no means accepted in the world at large. We need tremendous inner strength and power and many kindred spirits to face the world with the values we profess: an understanding of the divine as residing in us and in all of nature as the creative potential, a profound concern for the earth, and a commitment to the freedom of all persons to take responsibility for their own lives.
