UUSS - AMONG Program Interest Form
Thank you for your interest in being part of the Beloved Conversations - AMONG Program for UUSS. We need to assemble a team of 20 dedicated UUSS members who can commit to being part of this racial justice training for our congregation during the next two years. 

Please fill out this survey, so that we can get to know you and be properly connected, and so that you will be added to our mailing lists and continue to be informed about upcoming events.

We look forward to building community and digging into this important work together!

With Appreciation,
The Justice & Equity Team (JET) @ UUSS

What is Beloved Conversations?
Beloved Conversations—the signature offering of The Fahs Collaborative at Meadville Lombard Theological School—is a program for Unitarian Universalists seeking to embody racial justice as a spiritual practice.

Who is Among designed for?
  • Congregations that have had people take at least one term of Beloved Conversations Within
  • Congregations with an explicit commitment to anti-racism
  • Congregations where folks in key leadership and decision-making roles (staff, board members, relevant committee chairs, etc.) have taken Within
  • If you have not participated in Within, what other experience with racial justice and anti-racism do you have?
  • Congregations that apply and whose application (on the balance) indicates that they are ready to commit to anti-racist transformation in their congregational systems
Congregational applications for Among for the 2024–2026 cohort will be accepted between March 1 and May 31, 2024. 

In Among, participants work for two years with a dedicated Among Coach and a core group of up to 20 Within alums from their congregation to:

  • better understand the ways dominant white culture is woven into the congregation’s systems
  • explore possibilities for change by focusing on one chosen area of congregational life
  • learn from examples of others who have made bold changes
  • center the spiritual needs and voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
  • create a plan for change that fits the congregation and context
