Join the Global Connections Office at the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Leadership Institute for Growth, Healing, and Transformation at Meadville Lombard for this three-part series focusing on wealth in North American Unitarian Universalism. We’ll take a conversational approach to various topics including classism in North American U/Uism, charitable giving from congregations, church endowments, community partnerships, reconciliation, and reparations. The series will include presentation, discussion, and how-to’s of changing wealth practices with leaders across fields of ministry and philanthropy.
What can people of faith learn from the philanthropic sector about how to liberate and decolonize wealth? What does it look like to ensure that practices and processes are mutually beneficial and support self- and communal-determination of impacted people and places? Join us for an interactive program with spiritually-grounded philanthropy colleagues Alicia Forde (Texas Methodist Foundation), Rich Havard (Decolonizing Wealth Project), and Syma Mirza (Neighborhood Funders Group) as they share stories from the field and invite us to reflect on what it takes to liberate wealth in our congregations and communities.
