What Moves Us

I've just wrapped up facilitating a course for adults at my church called What Moves Us. The UUA has launched a new curriculum series, The Tapestry of Faith, which are all available for free on their website. This wealth of new riches inspired me to just give it a try, and I'm really really glad I did.

What Moves Us is a series of 10 workshops each focusing on a different Unitarian, Universalist, or Unitarian Universalist theologian. But rather than spending too much time on history or biography, What Moves Us focuses on their theology, their ideas, and how we can relate those ideas to our own personal experience and personal theology.

I didn't always agree with all the ideas of all the theologians, and the participants in my class didn't always either. It pushed us all to think in new ways, which was listed as the main benefit of the class by the group at the end.

I'm not crazy about the title of the course though ... it didn't really grab people's attention in our class catalog. What would be a better title?
