This year, I was honored to be part of a GA workshop entitled “Ministers & Membership Professionals: Shared Ministry Success Stories.” This workshop was sponsored by the UU Association of Membership Professionals, where I currently serve as President. I was thrilled that Rev. María Cristina was able to join me and the other Membership Professionals and Ministers who participated. The description of the workshop is: “When Ministers and Membership Professionals model authentic shared ministry congregations are inspired to become innovative, robust, compassionate faith communities. Our shared stories highlight strategies, successes, and struggles that call us into deeper relationships as we build strong staff teams so that our congregations can become inclusive, welcoming spaces for everyone.” After September, the workshop will be available. If you’d like to see it, please contact me at [email protected].
