If you have a moment (and I know you're really busy!), I'd love to know what some of the acronyms are. (I got MFC and UUA, but I have to admit I can't easily place the rest without googling).
"Panel" is the UUA Panel on Theological Education, a board-appointed group that makes recommendations about spending the UUA's theological education grants.
"MPL" is the UUA's Ministry and Professional Leadership staff group, which serves ordained clergy and certified religious educators, and which aims to serve church musicians.
"DRUUMM" is Diverse and Revolutionary UU Multicultural Ministries, an organization of UU people of color.
"UUMA Exec" is the Executive Committee of the UU Ministers Association, the professional organization of UU clergy. "UUMA CENTER" is the Continuing Education Network for Training, Enrichment, and Renewal, which sponsors the Ministry Days professional conference just prior to General Assembly each summer.
"LREDA" is the Liberal Religious Educators Association, the professional organization for UU religious education directors. (I don't know what "LREDA Futures" is.)
"ATS" is the Association of Theological Schools, which accredits graduate programs in ministerial studies.
"UU Musicians Network" is a professional organization.
"Society for Community Ministries" is an organization of UU non-parish clergy.
"Shelter Rock" is the Long Island church-based fund that provides major grants to UU organizations (formally the UU Veatch Program at Shelter Rock).
"IDBM" is the UUA's Identity-Based Ministries staff group, which serves individuals from historically oppressed or marginalized groups.
"St Lawrence Foundation" is the St Lawrence Foundation for Theological Education, the funding panel that was created when the Universalist seminary at St Lawrence University was closed in the late 1960s.
"ARE" is Allies for Racial Equity, a UU antiracism organization for "white allies."
I don't know what Congregational Measurement is.
Thinks, Philo. I know you are busy, too!
Mr. Congregational Measurement didn't come. I was wondering about him, too! LREDA Futures is their long range visioning arm.
For some reason Philocrites, aka UU World magazine editor Chris Walton, neglected to point out that "MFC" is the UUA's very aptly named Ministerial *Fellowship* Committee.
Thanks, Philocrites! And Christine, I'm really enjoying reading your notes.
Robin, I probably should have spelled it out, but Ms Theologian said she recognized MFC, so I skipped it.
