Blogging from the Essex Conference Center in Essex, MA, just because I can. I’m up here for what seems to be currently called the Convocation on Ministery With Youth. The plan is to begin the process of evaluating and potentially making big changes in the way the UUA does youth ministry. What are our unserved constituencies? Can we reach them and still preserve what it is that we love about YRUU?
This is a lovely place in the woods north of Boston. Simple but very well appointed. Should be a good place to think. I hope we can find a way to give a useful purpose to this weekend. I fear that the concept of this weekend is not clear enough to focus the activity. I have an open mind and good will, however, so we will see.
