The Mission of the Unitarian Universalist Association's Central Midwest District Women and Religion Committee is to support women in their search for the Inner Feminine Divine in an atmosphere of connectedness, safety, and joy.

We have all worked hard to make 2009 a successful and productive year. We recruited and nurtured planning committees for our winter and summer retreats, which had more than 150 women in attendance. We presented workshops, information tables and Sunday services to UU audiences. We continued efforts to upgrade our website, maximizing our ability to publicize events; communicate with one another and provide easily accessible document archives. Significantly, we took initial steps towards more fully integrating the Women & Religion committee into the district operations.

The Women & Religion (W&R) Committee is a standing committee of the Central Midwest District of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

The Mission of the Unitarian Universalist Association's Central Midwest District Women and Religion Committee is to support women in their search for the Inner Feminine Divine in an atmosphere of connectedness, safety, and joy.

Nine women are chosen from a wide geographic area to represent women in the District for a three-year term. The W&R Committee sponsors a Winter WomanSpirit conference each year, along with a Summer WomanSpirit Conference at Ronora Lodge in Michigan. Both events are organized by "local" committees with the help of the District W&R Committee.

Women who have previously served on the W&R Committee comprise our “Wise Woman Council.”

If you would like to help the W&R Committee further our mission of service to the women in our district, consider becoming a member! It is a three-year committment. Here is the application form (PDF). Two 3-year terms are open. Please send in your application. You will be contacted promptly.
