Phishing and Smishing*

These and related kinds of social engineering scams have become more and more common around the world and lead to billions of dollars in losses to individuals and corporations every year...

UUC's New Path to Membership

Last fall, our new Member Engagement Team met for the first time to create a list of priorities for the coming year. One of the projects that emerged was a rethinking of our Path to Membership and the steps that we ask prospective members to engage with before signing the book. This work was inspired by other local UU congregations who have similarly reimagined their Path to Membership with a focus on helping prospective members deepen their involvement in the community prior to joining. The UU churches doing this work have experienced a significant increase in new members joining, and, perhaps most significantly, a membership base that is more involved in the congregation. These churches have found that over several years, the congregants who engaged in this new Path to Membership were more likely to stay in the community, and more likely to eventually take on leadership roles...

A powerful work of art can help us remember what must not be forgotten—and ask what repair requires of us now.

At King’s Chapel in Boston, “Unbound,” a 14-foot bronze and granite sculpture by artist Harmonia Rosales, honors the 219 people enslaved by past members and ministers of the congregation. The memorial is part of King’s Chapel’s broader effort to confront its history, including ongoing work centered on reparative justice and reconciliation.
