Annual Metro NY LREDA & UUMA Fall Professional Day 

Thursday, November 9, 2023, 9:30am - 3:00pm Eastern

Our program Faith Formation in a Changing World: The Holy Why, The Balcony What, and Your Next Right Move will be facilitated by the Rev. Tandi Rogers (read more about Tandi below). This year's event will be multiplatform on Zoom and in-person at The New York Society for Ethical Culture. 2 W 64th St., New York, NY. We'll gather at 9:30am and close at 3:00pm. Light breakfast and lunch provided.

In our time together...
We will unpack what Faith Formation could mean in today’s context and what is covenantally being asked of us as religious leaders and religious communities. We will examine what’s currently going on, in our lived experience and current research.
We will get in touch with our core purposes and personal motivations.
We will examine assumptions, engage playful questions and start workshopping plans.

We hope you will join us for our first professional day with an in-person option since 2019!
