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.

2009 DANA McLEAN GREELEY ANNUAL ADDRESS

A call for submissions 

 

All Unitarian Universalists are invited to submit a sermon or address on

developing a peaceful and just world to the UU United Nations Office.

 

As Reverend Greeley believed, strengthening the United Nations is a goal we all need to support, especially in the United States now.  In particular, support for the Millennium Development Goals is a real and realizable path to a peaceful and just world.

The purpose of the program is to encourage and to recognize Unitarian Universalists’ thought and action on global issues of peace and justice and the role of the United Nations and our own Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office.

 

The UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST UNITED NATIONS OFFICE speaks within the UN Community of religious and civil organizations to promote Unitarian Universalist faith in action.

All submissions will be considered, and clearly those highlighting the work of the UN and, or, the UU United Nations Office will be given priority consideration.  The winner will be awarded a cash prize of $300 and have the opportunity to speak at GA in 2009.

Deadline for submissions is February 1, 2009. Please email your submission to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .
