CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2009 DANA MCLEAN GREELEY ANNUAL ADDRESS - DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2009
Each year all Unitarian Universalists are invited to participate in a competition for the outstanding sermon or address on developing a peaceful and just world.
This address may be one that you have already prepared or one that you create with this competition in mind. Adaptations of existing papers and talks are acceptable.
Reverend Greeley, first president of the UUA until 1969, continues to inspire us with his dedication to peace and justice, expressed in his ministry until his death in 1986. One of the principal founders of the World Conference on Religion and Peace (now Religions for Peace), he believed that strengthening the United Nations is part of our commitment to world community with peace, liberty and justice.

For Knotts, on the job only since January, it will be his first visit to Odumase, though as a former US Foreign Service Officer he has spent a good deal of time in West Africa.
