Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes Guest Speaker Meleah Houseknecht to lead this program.
From Meleah: Over the course of our 200-or-so-year history as a denomination, what it means to be a Unitarian (or) Universalist has undergone considerable change. That doesn’t mean that transformation has always–or ever–been easy. This year we are faced with the opportunity to be a part of the sacred task of adapting and renewing our faith and our movement to meet the needs of changing world. What can the transcendentalist revolutionaries of early American Unitarianism teach us about what it means to be a living faith tradition today? What is it that truly holds us together in sacred covenant now and into the future, and what are the outward manifestations of our shared faith that are ready to be transformed for a new age?
Our guest speaker will be Meleah Houseknecht. In 2021 she began the journey of following her call to Unitarian Universalist ministry and she is now in her third year at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. Before seminary she spent two decades engaging stakeholders in environmental policy development and implementation, and she holds a master’s degree in environmental management from the Yale School of the Environment. When not studying or parenting her two human and two feline children, Meleah serves Unitarian Universalism as an active member of her home congregation, First Universalist Church of Minneapolis, and a trustee for Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice.
