The first session focuses on information about the denomination, the second on an individual congregation. Newcomers should be encouraged to attend both. These sessions could easily be expanded to two hours. The 28-minute video, An Heretical History, is shown during the first session. Held in a comfortable room where coffee service can be made available.
Presenters introduce themselves and talk briefly about why they became UUs.
Go around the room, asking participants to introduce themselves, talk about their previous religious affiliations and why they're interested in UU, and, if they wish to, offer a question about Unitarian Universalism they'd like answered during the session. Presenters explain what will be covered in this session. Every person is worthy and should be treated with dignity. People should treat each other with justice, equality, and compassion. We should accept the differences that tend to separate us.
