SUMMARY:Accessible to All Churches and Disabilities Justice
DESCRIPTION:The United Church of Christ adopted the Accessible to All (A2A) covenant as a denomination in 2005 as part of our commitment to disabilities justice. Barriers to accessibility are both physical and attitudinal. Disability justice intersects with the UCC’s commitments to racial\, economic\, gender\, sexual identies\, just peace\, and environmental justice. Join representatives of the UCC Disabilities Ministries Board for practical resources for what UCC members and congregations can do to create a more just world for all. \nThis webinar is part of a special series of Thursdays for the Soul webinars focused on twelve Just World Covenant programs in the United Church of Christ. One the third Thursday of each month\, one of these programs will be featured. Learn more at: www.ucc.org/just_world_covenants.

SUMMARY:Sharing Leadership in UCC Community
DESCRIPTION:Some mistakenly believe that United Church of Christ faith communities resist leadership by design. The truth is that UCC polity calls on communities to share leadership\, voluntarily and covenantally. Sharing leadership is so countercultural\, it’s easy to misunderstand. \nJoin Dean Sarah B. Drummond of Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School and Rev. Dr. Chris S. Davies for an energizing and timely conversation about Drummond’s new book from the Pilgrim Press\, Sharing Leadership: A United Church of Christ Way of Being In-Community. \nDavies and Drummond will reflect on questions like\, “How can faith communities share leadership well?” and\, “How can the UCC help its members to carry the life-giving practices of sharing leadership into their families\, communities\, and workplaces?” \n*Please note this session is pre-recorded.

SUMMARY:Contemplatives in Action - Mindfulness in the UCC
DESCRIPTION:Pause\, breathe\, and come learn about how the UCC is joining the mindfulness movement. Following the Contemplatives in Action Resolution\, passed at the 2021 General Synod\, a working group of clergy\, students\, and lay leaders have been meeting regularly to pray and meditate on how to incorporate more contemplative practices into our UCC communities. The Christian tradition is rich with stories from those with direct experience of the Holy Spirit\, but many find the more esoteric side of spirituality to be intimidating or inaccessible. We are here to tell you\, there is so much more to meditation than silence. Join us\, and expand your mind.

SUMMARY:Confronting Bias in Search and Call
DESCRIPTION:Our churches want to do better in addressing implicit (and explicit!) bias in their search and call practices\, but they often don’t know where to start.
