  • Theology in the Unitarian Universalist tradition has become so individuated as to be sterile. Theology should speak to that which we hold most cherished together. Our congregations need to create a common, shared theology that goes beyond the little boxes of post enlightenment belief with which our love for individualism has left us. We need a way to create a new normative theology in each congregation that helps us collectively formulate spiritual reasons for what we do, at once both accessible to us as individuals, but definitive enough so that each congregation could refer to that theology as a foundation from which to make justice. The thesis of this project is that a shared leadership curriculum would begin to reinvigorate our foundational purpose and drive out congregations toward theologically grounded action. I propose that the curriculum explore answers to several questions of ultimate purpose: 1) What is the nature of hope? 2) What is our response to racism and oppression? 3) What is the best response to suffering? 4) What is our individual and collective purpose? The overall learning goal of this curriculum is heuristic: To help a group of people think theologically in community and this empower their religious life. Specifically, this curriculum is to be used by leadership groups in a congregation as a guide to think generatively and theologically about their work. By focusing on the leadership core, throughout the year, I intend to ground their leadership in a theological formation that would translate into a meaningful and forceful mission.
