Continental Spirituality Development Conference Application May 4-6, 2001; Boston, MA The Spirituality Development Conference (SDC) has changed! Instead of training a youth and an adult from each district to return home and run SDCs, this year, we're training a group of youth and adults at the continental level who will then be sent out to districts on request by the youth office. So apply! We want to see you here in Boston to create some of the most amazing worship experiences ever experienced! The Continental Spirituality Development Conference Training (CSDC) is a conference that will bring together fifteen youth and fifteen adults to be trained to lead Spirituality Development Conferences in districts. Trainers will learn how to plan creative worship, incorporate worship into their daily lives in meaningful ways, and lead district SDCs. The training will focus on creative youth worship, building an intergenerational faith community of youth and adults, personal spiritual practice, and borrowing appropriately from other traditions and cultures. And it'll totally be a blast. We're looking for fifteen youth and fifteen adults who are great facilitators, charismatic presenters, and committed to developing creative spirituality in the context of YRUU and our congregations at large. Applicants should have experience planning worship and be a worshipful presence comfortable facilitating, presenting material, and leading large groups. We especially encourage ministers to apply. Send us a letter of intent describing why you want to be a Spirituality Development Conference leader, your experience planning worship services (emphasis on circle-style, but congregational as well), and leading large groups, trainings, or workshops. Please provide the following information as well: Application Questions: Name Address Phone Email Date of Birth UU Congregation UUA District LDCs, SDCs, Advisor Trainings, etc. that you have attended Describe your YRUU experience Describe your experience with youth/adult relations: What is Youth Empowerment to You? Example? Why would you be especially good at leading district SDCs? How do you as a Unitarian Universalist respond to racism? In a Congregation? In worship? Describe your personal spiritual practice (reading, writing, yoga, music, running, etc.)? If you were chosen, would you be interested in leading a workshop on it at the training? Describe a creative worship that you've helped to lead and why it was meaningful to you. Answer A or B by outlining a worship that you would create that would be appropriate to the situation described: Two conferees are involved in a car accident on the way to a conference/meeting. One of them is seriously injured and in the hospital. These conferees are well-known members of the community. You are in charge of planning the first night's worship. It's the last day of a week-long conference entitled "Decision-making in today's society." You are in charge of planning a closing worship that sums up what you've discussed throughout the conference. Describe any other relevant experience you feel applies.
