After our brief tour of Unitarian Universalist history last week, we challenged the group to look into some of the people who’ve shaped our Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist history.

1000 Conversations — A House Meeting Training with Our Neighbors (7 October 2025)
Please join us for 1000 Conversations – a House Meeting Training with our neighbors at Grace Community United Methodist Church (9400 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA 71106)
Please note the re-scheduled date — Tuesday, 7 October 2025. The time is still 6:00 PM.
On Tuesday (7 October 2025) at 6:00 PM, members and friends of All Souls will join our neighbors at Grace Community UMC for a House Meeting Training aimed at creating a more vibrant, healthy, and equitable community.
Because 10 voices are louder than 1 and 100 are louder than 10, we will learn how to facilitate small group listening sessions where neighbors can listen and share with each other — and together can not only build lasting relationships, but also work together to meet the needs and create change in our congregations — our neighborhoods, and the wider community.
