Regional Workshop: Breaking Covenant – Repair Restore Renew

On Saturday April 10th, from 12 noon – 6 pm (with breaks), UUA MidAmerica Region Congregational Life staff Summer Albayati, Tyler Coles, Patricia Infante, Lisa Presley, and Annie Scott will present a workshop on steps for coming back into covenant. Registration link and additional details below:

Every congregation has experienced destructive behavior that has caused upset, tumult, and conflict, from microaggressions to outright aggression, and other forms of inappropriate behavior. In the process, covenant is broken, even when the covenant might not be explicitly stated. The impact of the behavior can baffle leaders, and congregations often don’t know how to repair, restore, or renew their community. It is therefore important that every congregation recognize that the holy space between each of us is everyone’s responsibility to grow and maintain and when it’s broken between any people it’s broken between us all. We need to have policies and procedures in place to deal with destructive behavior. Learn more about this workshop at the link up above! Let us know if you are thinking about attending so we know if we have a full team and qualify for the discount! There will be ample breaks so while it is 6 hours total, you won’t be on Zoom that whole time.
