B Saturday 2 – 3:30

B1. De la critique des religions à partir de l’expérience des unitariens au Canada et en France 

A partir des réformes protestantes, l’unitarisme n’a cessé de prendre ses distances par rapport à la dogmatique chrétienne. Les unitariens souhaitent que les autres religions se montrent à leur tour exigeantes dans l’étude de leur propre corpus religieux, afin de permettre un véritable dialogue inter-foi. Dans cette optique, la laïcité « à la française » et le développement communautaire au Canada, apparemment contradictoires, peuvent-ils se rejoindre sur le terrain de la démocratie où les acteurs religieux doivent être invités à respecter des règles du jeu social ? - Jean-Claude Barbier, Secrétaire général de l’Assemblée fraternelle des chrétiens unitariens 

B2. IARF Annual Meeting and Workshop

Christine Johnston, Ellen Campbell and Fredelle Brief

B3. The Mindless Pursuit of Growth in Canada

The destructive impact of human activities on the planet has become undeniable. Yet, even in the face of “Peak Oil”, the paradigm of continuous growth as the key to human well-being persists. We must develop new modes of thinking that sustain the web of life that sustains us. - Madeline Weld, Jon Legg and Tony Cassils

B4. Making the Most of your Committee on Ministry

How can your committee on Ministry help you consider the overall ministry of your congregation? In the past many congregations have structured these committees to serve as sounding boards for issues affecting the professional ministry of the congregation, but our commitment to Shared Ministry suggests it is time to refashion these committees so that they provide us with a whole congregation lens. Join Linda Thomson and Rev. Debra Faulk and Germaine Kovary, of the Don Heights Unitarian Congregation (and others?) in an interactive session that a highlights Shared Ministry approach.

B5. Professional Ministry in Canada, United Kingdom and US

We will discuss how it is that we have created our present world. How we came to feel separate and apart from the Creator. How quantum physics has proven this incorrect. How we constantly communicate with the Creator. Recent discoveries of how the Creator’s name is imprinted in every cell of our being. How prayer really works and how we can change the present state of our world through prayer! - Doug Henderson

B9. The Available Energy Web for our Hands

Geothermal energy reserves exist below our cities. With recent advances in drilling technology and subsurface engineering, these reservoirs could provide an affordable alternative energy source to carbon and nuclear based energy production. The panel will define this system of energy production and compare environmental health and financial advantages and costs to existing carbon and nuclear methods. - Panel of Experts

B10. The Earth Charter and U and U

Hear how different congregations approach partnerships. Hear about new options and geographical opportunities for partnerships. We will work together to develop ideas to strengthen and enrich current partnerships. - Ann Gary, UU Partner Church Council

D3. Mark Mosher de Wolfe Lecture and Canadian Unitarian Universalist Historical Society Annual Meeting - An Unexpected Rescuer

D9. Meaning, Morality, Reverence and Science: Spiritual Atheism and the Sacred
