Practicing Radical Welcome: Transgender Inclusion at FUUSB
|
|
 Rev. Andrée Mol, Developmental Assistant Minister for Pastoral Care and Membership
Practicing Radical Welcome: Transgender Inclusion at FUUSB
Sunday, June 9, 12-3 p.m.
Over the last few months, many members of FUUSB have engaged in the course "Transgender Inclusion in Congregations" taught by Rev. Mykal Slack and Zr. Alex Kapitan of the Transforming Hearts Collective. On June 9, Zr. Alex Kapitan will lead a workshop at FUUSB on how to build on our learnings and level up FUUSB's practice of radical welcome. This engaging and interactive workshop is open to all, regardless of whether or not you've taken the course. Bring an open heart and mind and get ready to create an action plan for transforming FUUSB's congregational culture into one that is radically welcoming and fully trans-affirming.
Bio:
Zr. Alex Kapitan is a lay community minister, educator, editor, consultant, anti-oppression activist, and transgender and queer lifelong Unitarian Universalist. Ze is the co-founder of the Transforming Hearts Collective, which does workshops, trainings, and consultancies with faith communities on radical welcome and other topics, and also the founder of Radical Copyeditor, a project that helps people use language in anti-oppressive ways. Alex worked for many years at the national office of the Unitarian Universalist Association and is a past steering committee member of TRUUsT, an organization of trans UU religious professionals. Ze lives in western MA with partner Teddy and a menagerie of furry and feathered friends.

Christina's Gone Fishing...Sort Of

 Christina Fulton, Director of Operations & Finance
I will be away from the office from Sunday, June 9 through Sunday, June 30. I'll be on vacation for two of these weeks, but will be attending the Association of UU Administrators Pro-Days and UU General Assembly in Spokane, WA during the middle week. So from Monday, June 17 - Sunday, June 23, I will be working remotely, checking and answering time-sensitive emails and learning lots of new stuff. If you need to speak with someone directly while I'm away, you can reach David McFeeters, Facilities Manager at extension 23 or Mary Williams, Society Administrator at extension 21. They will both know how to reach me if there is an urgent need. I will be back in my office on Monday, July 1st, well rested and ready to begin the new congregational year!
