Yes Culture & Faithful Risk

a #uuriskfaithers tweetchat - December 22, 2011 - Unitarian Universalists engaging in a public conversation about supporting a culture of yes for faithful risk

    Bear hope to unexpected places. Live faithfully in unexpected ways. Risk faithfully always. #chalicelight #uuriskfaithers

    Definitely the opposite fo bureaucracy. Sooooo many committees in a typical #UU congregation. #uuriskfaithers

    I think Yes culture is permission giving, & with it is an accountability to the movement and to your local church or group. #uuriskfaithers

    Risk faithing culture has to embrace the difference between regular faithful failures and moral failure. #uuriskfaithers

    Yes-saying means not only trusting people, but trusting self. Sometimes that's harder. Fear holds us back. #uuriskfaithers

    @apakula And trusting means....ways of failing, restoring relationship, faithing with great conviction? #uuriskfaithers

    It's both, I think. Inspire young adults don't want to be held back by layers of committees. They can act elsewhere... #uuriskfaithers

    @apakula Is the #OWS model an example of risk faith? #uuriskfaithers

    @Rev_Mother I don't understand overly chaotic. Accountability has mutuality. Common vision, mission, story important. #uuriskfaithers

    @Rev_Mother Yes. Essential. Mostly about a shared vision! #uuriskfaithers

    I asked if I could invite the local Occupy group to use our kitchen for Christmas Eve dinner. With yes, energy level surged. #uuriskfaithers

    @Seinneann I don't know what 'risk faith' is, but OWS is an amazing example of trusting the process #uuriskfaithers

    What happens when the young adults *are* the leadership? I've been accused of being unaccommodating of older folks. #uuriskfaithers

    @apakula that's what I'm trying to figure out. Is risk faith a new process? Anyone? #uuriskfaithers

    My goal is to trust and mentor people - and to avoid systems that are set up to value safety and comfort over mission #uuriskfaithers

    @Seinneann @apakula Faithful risk is a phrase reminding us about adventure as part of faithing. #uuriskfaithers
