2013 Annual Men's Dinner

[Pat Herbst]

Fellow UUAA Men

I thought i'd drop a note to thank the 63 men who came to this year's dinner. As we mentioned our speaker Doug Muder maintains two blogs that you might find interesting to read

The Weekly Sift (http://weeklysift.blogspot.com/) and Free and Responsible Search (http://freeandresponsible.blogspot.com/).

He also writes for UUWorld. The article that caught my attention originally and that several of us have read is Not my father's religion (http://uuworld.org/ideas/articles/36467.shtml) and was alluded to in a question by Ron Shaw after the talk.

You should also know that since Doug came from New Hampshire to be our keynote speaker, we also sponsored, with the Social Justice Council, a workshop on "Class, Classism, and the Unitarian Universalist" that happened earlier today. That event was well attended also, including some 30 men and women from the congregation.As a member of the Men's Council I am happy and proud that by helping organize the morning event we have this time (like many times before) done something that benefits the congregation at large.

I hope both events will help feed our conversations about social justice.

Best wishes,

Pat Herbst

Pat,

The event was awesome, thank you for all you did to make it happen. AND I think my COA mentee was impressed!

WTG!

In Brotherhood,

Bob

Thank you so much Pat for your dedicated work!  I really enjoyed Doug's talks, and he certainly has enlarged my understanding of "privilege" and how social justice---for all---bumps up against powerful entrenched privileged groups.  As always, attending UU events, I expect my mind to be further opened and enlightened with talks like these from thoughtful speakers who "walk the walk". 

I was most pleased with this weekend!
