Sample Master Level Reflection Paper - Unitarian Universalist ...

Constant translating for my own and others understanding has become aspiritual discipline and has brought me closer to my Unitarian Universalistfaith.I attended the Saltwater Church for a number of years. We sharednot only a building with Bet Chaverim (a Jewish synagogue), but communityand cross education. Being invited to worship with the Bet Chaverimcommunity after we had worked on a social justice effort or something asmundane as a grounds work party was precious to me. We appreciated andhonored our differences, but also our common relationship.Learning in action:• Created the Salmon-Seder-Communion ritual for the GoldMineTraining of Trainers.• Facilitated a process of forgiveness and community reparation basedon Jewish teshuva for the Eliot Institute family camp when a group ofyoung adults broke the camp rules.• Lead morning prayers for the Christian community at SeattleUniversity.Leadership Development & Small Group Ministry. I watch leaders Iadmire and respect. I read their blogs or books or sermons. I ask themquestions and sometimes follow them around and soak up their example.I have learned best as a leader when I’m thrown into a situation thatI’m not fully prepared for. When I make mistakes I am careful to problemsolve or reflect with colleagues and try to fix the mistake or break thepattern. I find again and again our saving message: we are not alone.14
