Every leader needs basic skills such as healthy communication, systems thinking, spiritual grounding and an understanding of the dynamics of conflict. Join the UUFP's Leadership Development Committee for Centered Leadership: Beloved Community, and we'll help you to develop these skills — and give you lunch!
This training will cover:
* how covenant is the center of UU faith;
* how our congregational polity works;
* how we can create strong, healthy communities;
* a deeper understanding of being a committed member of our congregation and the wider UUA; and
* how being a member of a congregation is a laboratory for building Beloved Community.
This is the first of three core leadership trainings from the UU Institute, and we are offering it across four sessions taking place on second Saturdays every other month from November through May.
November 8th: Being in Covenantal Community; Being in Congregational Community: Making Decisions
January 10th: Community as a Spiritual Practice, Part 1; Participating in a Faith Community
March 14th: The Meaning of Membership; Community as a Spiritual Practice, Part 2
May 9th: The Interconnected Web: the UUA and Beyond; The Congregation Is the Curriculum: Faith Development
