Beyond Categorical Thinking

Will the new minister hear me?

Will my concerns and needs be met? 

Will the minister understand what I’m living with?

How will the community respond to our minister?

In answering these questions, a picture of the “ideal minister” (categorized by age, gender identity, nationality, physical or cognitive ability, race, sexual orientation, etc) may come to mind. With this picture in place, it can be easy to unintentionally exclude ministers who fall into certain categories. The BCT program is designed to promote inclusive thinking and help prevent unfair discrimination in the search process for a new minister.


The Ministerial Search Committee invites you to participate in this private BCT workshop offered by the UUA for First U. It will be held as two 90-minute webinars on November 5th (7:30 – 9:00 pm) and November 6th (9:00 – 10:30 am).  Space will be limited to the first 200 registrants.  Use the following link to reserve your spot to participate in this important workshop.
