Connie Goodbread - UU Uniquness Comes from the Three Pillars of UUism - Covenant, Pluralism and the Living Tradition
What's the future of the UU congregations (the people) and the church (the building)? Can we reach out beyond the walls of the church and begin to share Unitarian Universalism to those who may not be interested in attending churches but yet identify with spirituality? It can't be just us inside our walls of the church. How are we reaching out.
