Claiming a Mission: Can “We” be “One”? – Rev. Karen Gustafson

There is an old sentiment, often expressed, that Unitarian Universalist Congregations are like “Herds of cats” (or maybe squirrels!). This implies that it is hard to get a group of UUs headed or organized around a common idea or purpose in ways that could make actually make a difference. Yet, UCE has a Mission Statement which is, “Nurturing the human spirit for a world made whole.” How does the common energy fuel the work of the many? Could common understanding lead to shared action? As you move toward the calling of your next minister this bears consideration.
