Join fellow United alums and students, faculty, and staff for United Days. This year’s two-day homecoming event is themed “Interpreting Texts for the Liberation and Flourishing of Our World.” Drawing on the Hebrew Bible, we will experience new ways to think about leadership in our current landscape. Together, we will engage questions such as:
What does it mean to be a neighbor?
How do biblical texts provide liberation stories?
How might liberation stories restore our souls?
What is the liberative power of art?
In our exploration of these questions, we will invite the texts to direct us as we work toward the transformation of our human and ecological world. Leaders of faith communities will be challenged to envision their call in new ways. We will also seek liberation and flourishing in musical texts, specifically in the lyrics of Prince, in our Friday morning plenary session.
