Leading Into the Future

Prague 2023

 

Unitarian College is one of the partner organisations organising an international gathering in Prague which will take place from 25th – 29th October. Unitarians from all around the world will gather to consider our future leadership needs as Unitarianism moves into the middle of the 21st Century. We will look for ways we can work together as a global Unitarian community and how we can learn from each other. We will also share inspiring times of worship and conversation.

We would be most pleased if you could join us in a virtual webinar format for worship and keynote learning, using the time schedule and zoom link below.

Photo of student Arek Malecki with Rev Jo James minister of Mill Hill Chapel in Leeds"The formation of the Unitarian College has opened up the possibility of ministry training to people like me, who otherwise would not have been able to study due to the confines of the modern life. As a modern institution UC is very much in touch with the reality. The training programme is tailor-made to fit each student’s individual circumstances. The content of the course is incredibly rich, covering a vast spectrum of topics, using various methods of teaching and student engagement. The ministry training programme perfectly balances being “down to earth” on one hand, and “looking up to the heavens” on the other, placing emphasis on the practical application of the acquired skills, knowledge and insights in the 21st century British Unitarian congregations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we still get the same rich learning experience under the restrictions posed by Covid.

But UC is much more than just an educational establishment. It’s a support network for those embarking on a journey of professional ministry. It’s a space where we, students, learn just as much from each other as we do from our tutors. It’s a space where new friendships are made and future professional relationships are formed."
