Leading Congregations Into a Multiracial, Multicultural Future: Now is the Time!
Comments from the 2008 Conference
About the Rev. Jacqueline Lewis, PhD:

"I found this session rich and meaningful. It actually resulted in real engagement with others."
About the 2008 conference:
"Out of a possible 10, I rate this conference a 12!"
Building on the success of the February 2007 national conference, Congregational Services of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) invited Unitarian Universalists from throughout the continent to join other congregational leaders to explore the dynamics of creating multiracial, multicultural congregations and live this important work as we seek to build just and inclusive communities through our commitment that is rooted in Unitarian Universalist identity, theology, and values.
