[Fuusm-l] Discussion of Issues in UU Congregations this Sunday Feb 4, 2024

[Ted Goertzel]

For its discussion this week, the Today's Issues group will focus on issues
in Unitarian Universalist Congregations, including but not limited to
ours.  Everyone is welcome, but we do ask participants to do the reading in
advance.   The readings have circulated on the church mlist and been linked
from Confuence, so you may have read them already.  They are linked from
this email as well.

The Today's Issues group meets at 9:30 on Sunday mornings in person in the
parlor of the Religious Education buildings next to the church and on zoom
  We will meet this Sunday, Feb 4, 2024,  to discuss the following
readings.


Why We Aren’t Growing: An Open Letter to my Congregation

by John Halstead. This is from a member of another congregation, but the
issues raised apply to FUUSM as well.

     The Culture Wars Dividing America’s Most Liberal Church

from the Financial Times. This is more focused on the UUA, it may not be as
important for our discussion. But it is quite readable and informative and
has good photographs if you go to the FT site. I've also provided a
printable Google Docs, text only.
