Generosity within the individual
and the community is aligned with an inner sense of abundance - the feeling
that we have enough to share and to share well. As a "Breakthrough
Congregation" do we at Westside still possess an inner sense of abundance,
a sense of the possible? Is our current culture reflective of the financial
generosity of the recent past? Or are we showing signs common to other UUs and
many of the mainline Protestant denominations who give much less of their
income to their religious communities than many more conservative
denominations? If so, why is that? Jill Fleming, chair of the Stewardship
Committee, will explore the sensitive topic of money and how it impacts our
beloved community.
