A Dream Realized

The participation for me at Spring Seminar was a dream coming true, after much struggle to get a visa and to travel to US. Finally arriving in NYC and attending the workshops at the UN was overwhelming and so informative. There are not enough words to thank you for making this possible.

Connecting with UU Women in the Philippines

14 April 2025

Our ICUUW has been longing to develop close and lasting relationships with the UU women in the Philippines. I was planning to visit the Philippines this spring and was hoping to deepen some connections with UU women while there but sadly needed to postpone my trip. However, the desire to reach out to our women friends in the Philippines remained and the Membership Committee hatched a plan to send our greetings via a video to the Annual Conference of their UU Women’s Association (UUWA) which met in Dumaguete on March 7-8. Participating in the video were Renee Hills, Tina Huesing, Julie Steinbach, Rev. Maggie Yenoki and me, Lee.

The World We Dream About

Details
By Rev. Denise Tracy, USA
14 April 2025

At the 4th ICUUW Convocation this past September, women from all over the world met, talked, and dreamed of the world we wanted for women and girls. This is the defining purpose of ICUUW: improving the lives of women and girls. At lunch one day the ICUUW Outreach Committee, of which I am Co-Chair, sat talking. What are we dreaming of? What do we want to reach out to and bring home to the ICUUW? As we talked, we realized our dream was for Liberal Religious Women from all over the world, young and old, to be connected and to have common, life-changing experiences.
