The Changed Nature of Ministry: Views
From the Community
2010 marks the 20th
anniversary of community ministry’s recognition as a fellowship
track, bringing a new level of recognition to our historic
practice. In the changing religious landscape of the 21st century,
community ministry will remain vital to the future of Unitarian
Universalism. UUMA members are invited to join in a conversation
about what is happening today and the roles for community ministry
in the future.

organization can benefit from covenanted affiliation with a
community minister. Panelists: Revs.
