Fall 2007 I had the opportunity to work with Rev. Stefan M. Jonasson as he presented a workshop on "Key Challenges Facing Staff in Large Congregations." We've arranged for an audio file of that session. -- Ian Evison

We interviewed some other folks from the Central Midwest District, too -- We caught up with Janet Nortrom of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee Wisconsin, in the UU Women and Religion exhibit booth. She mentions Cakes Training -- that's the Cakes for the Queen of Heaven curriculum facilitator training. There's more information HERE.
