August 9, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Tending Our Tradition"
Throughout Unitarian Universalist history, there have been times when UUs courageously lived our values, and times when UUs betrayed our values. How can we learn from both the high points and the low points of our history as we seek to make our values real in the world today?
Rev. Erica Baron's video will focus on some of these questions. Nancy Stephens will lead a discussion after the video.
Rev. Erica Baron joined the New England region staff in 2019, focusing on helping congregations live into their missions and develop their gifts for spiritual leadership. Before joining the Congregational Life staff, she served as parish minister for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills in Kingston, NY, as well as the congregations in Rutland and Bennington, VT. She is a graduate of Andover Newton Theological School.
