What is Journey Toward Wholeness?

The UUA Journey Toward Wholeness Program

From the 2005-2006 Annual Report:

Projects for 2006: Jean Doss spoke in February on the Michigan "Civil Rights Initiative" with Monica Day leading the service. We also plan to develop a Sunday morning service for this summer or fall.

We planned the July 9, 2006 service:
Charlotte Allen
How Welcomed am I?
Our speaker was Charlotte Allen, who is seeking ordination as a UU minister as a second career.   Rev. Allen has ties to the Detroit area and the First UU Church in Detroit.   She spoke about her experiences as an African American in the UU denomination.  The title of her sermon is “How Welcomed am I?”    This topic is basic to what Journey Toward Wholeness is all about.   

We will be continuing our work to defeat the Michigan "Civil Rights Initiative" as we look for ways to implement the congregation’s recent decision to take a public position in opposition to it.

We hope to give a Journey Toward Wholeness Seminar series in the Fall of 2006 or Winter/Spring of 2007.

Accomplishments in 2005: We gave two Sunday morning programs. Nanette Reynolds spoke in March with Jim Davis leading the service. Margo Smith read a social justice sermon by a UU minister in July. Chrystal Price led the July service.

We began planning a campaign to ask the church members to take a public position opposing the Michigan "Civil Rights Initiative".
