From July’s InterConnections feature story, now online at UUA.org:
Technology is changing the way congregations acquire information. There was a time not so long ago when a congregation interested in learning how to do a better annual stewardship drive or develop its leadership might invite a consultant in for a day or a weekend.
That can still be the best way to go, but more and more—because our lives are busier and because the economy has shrunk our resources—congregations are gathering information through online “webinars” and other electronic learning formats.

"Webinar" is short for web-based seminar, a presentation or workshop which allows remote participation via the Web and sometimes a conference call.
Many Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) districts and regions offer a variety of webinars to help congregations in their area meet a variety of challenges. Archives of webinars are often free and available even to those outside their geographic region.
Peter Bowden, author of the UU Growth Blog and growth consultant to the Ballou Channing District is coordinating an ongoing series of webinars on topics related to congregational health, growth and vitality. Using the UUA’s Persony webinar platform and a corresponding conference call participants are able to listen to presentations, see slides, virtually raise hands, comment and ask questions. Registration is open to UU leaders from all districts of the UUA. For details and registration visit uugrowth.com.
