Comment on Strategic Planning Round Two Kickoff Celebration and Board Town Hall by Arthur Perkins Jr.

The section: “4. You desire more hands-on social action.
As a congregation we recognize that our definition of community extends beyond the
walls of 4 Waldron Avenue. You held up Social Action as a valued feature of
congregational life that has blossomed in the past 10 years, but you wanted to get
yourselves and your families more involved in taking projects from idea formation
through to implementation success.
When have you been involved in an experience relating to others beyond our church
where you felt you made a real difference? What made it successful? How do we weave
action into our shared life in ways that make it deepening, not just more activities to fit
into our busy lives? How do we frame this work as a spiritual practice? Could mission
trips or outreach partnerships become part of our life at UCS? What might those look
like?”

I agree fully with item 4. With the exception of the Chancellor School project in Irvington, our social action focus appears to me to have put more emphasis on funding external programs (which are admittedly very needy and worthy for funding). I would prefer to see the focus of social action shift toward projects with the personal involvement mentioned above
