This is the first community conversation for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Vancouver as we continue our 2-year interim process. We hold only a few of these to maximize participation. These meetings on various topics strongly shape the congregation’s understanding of who they are and where they hope to journey together in the near future. This first conversation focuses on how the past is alive in the present and how those understandings can be an asset or a challenge to a dynamic and healthy future.
