Lake Fellowship welcomes Karen Wills, Executive Director at Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance (MUUSJA). The title of Karen's program is Towards Justice, With Joy: Social Action Organizing as a Neuroscientist.
From Karen: MUUSJA connects 30 UU congregations, together with allied communities, to shape a more just and loving world. To this task, we bring a deep understanding and regard for all 8 of our UU Principles and all our myriad sources -- our stories and experiences, our love of history and science, a responsible search for truth and reason, the love and joy that emerge from making a difference, and the awareness that we can be more effective and have more fun in community than in isolation. Let's talk about how this connects with who you are and what you do and why you're here at Lake Fellowship and where you'd like your journey together to take you.
