I
offer workshops, trainings and guest speak / preach on a growing range
of issues related to UU evangelism and sharing our faith.
These include minisry of hospitality, marketing/branding,
training members to talk about their faith, and smart websites,
and beyond.
I
am regularly inspired by Chrisitan outreach campaigns and
books on evangelism. If you have read a NON-UU resource that
made you go "Wow! We need to do more of this!" please
email me the title and your thoughts.
Developing
a culture of sharing our faith, sharing our lives, and inviting
others takes time. It also requires that we work on chaning
behaviors and patterns throughout our communties. Fortunately
its all good! Healthy faith communities are growing faith
communities.
My Mission
Through my UU work and ministry I have a simple goal -- to make sure everyone on Earth who would be a Unitarian Universalist (or embrace and liveout our very universal values)
if they knew we existed is told we exist, accurately told who we are and what we are about, and are invited to join or start a community (church, group or otherwise) of like minded people.
Pretty straight forward, but we have a L - O - N - G way to go. Fortunately technology is helping. But we still need UU's to recognize that people want what we have, and that our values are not UU values, but deeply human values embodied in the form of a faith community. Did you get that? Our values are not ours, they belong to everyone. We just happen to be one of the primary faith communities upholding these universal values. The United Nations is pretty much on the same page...
Below is the introduction to the UU Good News session I led at a district celebration in April 20008. In it I offer a little bio about myself, talk about this goal, mention my site uuplanet.tv and tell how the UU Good News session works.
