UU Journey Toward Wholeness
Sean Parker Dennison
The Unitarian Universalist Association has been on the Journey Toward Wholeness since delegates at the 1997 General Assembly created a committee to monitor and assess the “transformation of the UUA into an authentically anti-racist, anti-oppressive, multicultural association.” In this class we will explore the JTW initiative, its successes and failures. We will pay special attention to the theo/alogical aspects of the program itself and the debates surrounding it. What is the theological point of our journey? What is our Unitarian Universalist vision of “wholeness”? How might we ground the work of countering oppression in UU sources and history? How might we inspire our predominantly white, privileged congregations to own the necessity, importance and transformative possibility of this work? / The Rev. Sean Parker Dennison has been a Unitarian Universalist minister since 2000. He is a graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry and currently serves as Vice President of the Board of Trustees. Sean is passionate about writing, educating to counter oppressions and create just and sustainable communities, computers and emerging online communities, and his family.

Transcendentalism: Religion and Social Action
Rudra Dundzila
Transcendentalism featured a flowering of idealism among a small community of New England Unitarian intellectuals, educators, writers, and reformers. They embraced spirituality, social responsibility, and ethical pluralism. Their ideas and actions stretched beyond European thought and dared to speak new truths that many of their contemporaries found both disturbing and revolutionary. The course will focus on Transcendentalist thought, experiments, social reform, and social action.

Spiritual Practice for These Times
Chris Fry
This is not a time to live without a practice. . . . Whether we reach this inner state of recognized divinity through prayer, meditation, dancing, swimming, walking, feeding the hungry or enriching the impoverished is immaterial. We will be doubly bereft without some form of practice that connects us, in a caring way, to what begins to feel like a dissolving world. ~Alice Walker This year-long, online course will support students in developing or strengthening their spiritual practice in order to meet the challenges of life and ministry in these times. The class will be experiential and multi-religious, drawing on the wisdom and practices of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, as well as science and deep ecology. Fall semester will focus inward on meditation, gratitude and sabbath-keeping. Spring semester will focus outward on compassion, kindness and service. Taken together, these ancient, intersecting practices will assist students in finding a rhythm of being and doing ~ in their personal lives and their ministries ~ that is healthy, joyful and sustainable. It is expected that students will take both semesters. / The Rev. Chris Fry is a grateful graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry (‘96). An Adjunct Faculty member for more than five years, Chris has taught courses on poetry, illness and pastoral care; forgiveness; compassion and moral repair; and religious education.

Unitarian Universalist History
Susan Ritchie
The course begins with an examination of the (alleged) antecedents to Unitarianism and Universalism in pre-Reformation Europe. We move on to trace the theological and then institutional emergence of Unitarianism out of the Radical Reformation. The Unitarian churches in Poland, Transylvania, and England will be considered in detail with attention to issues of sameness and difference in their development and declines. Special focus will be given to the relationship of these communities to their Jewish and Islamic contemporaries. We will also look at the universalism of 18th century England, and the current state of Unitarianism in Europe. Then we cross the ocean to examine the emergence of Unitarianism from developments within Puritan Congregationalism. We explore the uniquely North American institution of Universalism as response to the same cultural setting. Next: the major themes and developments of North American Unitarianism through its classical age, the Transcendentalist development, and the various crises of identity and purpose that develop into and through the late 19th and 20th centuries. Then we turn our attention to Universalist ascendency, decline, and then consolidation with Unitarianism (perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of Unitarian/Universalist history). Careful attention will be paid throughout to the Unitarian/Universalist social location in relationship to class, race, and gender identities, and how these sometimes enabled and sometimes impaired social justice advances.

Topics in Buddhist Thought: Women, Family, Dharma
Lisa Grumbach
This course challenges several generalized notions about Buddhism (e.g., that it is largely male, monastic, and requires the practice of individual meditation) by examining the roles women have played in the development and spread of Buddhism and by looking at the family as the locus of practice.

Global Religious Traditions ~NEW!!
Carmen Lansdowne

Students will engage in individual readings, online forums, experiential learning and theological reflection together as an online community. At the end of the course, students should be able to examine the gifts and challenges posed by religious traditions in a globalizing world, as well as undertake power analysis to deepen analysis of faith traditions and address justice issues. Students of all faiths will be invited to participate. Registration PIN required - priority given to off-campus students. / The Rev.

Systems Thinking for Religious Leaders

References and examples of working to counter oppressions are foundational to this course. / Dr. Helen Bishop holds an Ed.D in organizational leadership and has an extensive background working with Unitarian Universalist congregations, districts and affiliated organizations.
