2019/12/01 ● The Rev. Marcus Fogliano ● Redefining UU Polity for the 21st Century

As Unitarian Universalists around the country grapple with what, if anything, connects us, questions of power and authority create narratives about how we are and aren’t in relationship. Rev. Marcus Fogliano will speak on the subject of Congregational Polity, the 1600’s document that defines how our faith is organized, and how our faith and language has changed over the centuries. Rev. Marcus Fogliano (They/Them/Theirs) is the Project Manager for the Commission on Institutional Change at the Unitarian Universalist Association, and seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School. Marcus is an intersectional advocate in Illinois, and finds their calling in Unitarian Universalism as an Institutional Minister. As an ordained former Jehovah’s Witness, they spend a lot of time thinking about faith organizational and institutional systems, and what wisdoms for world religions around systems are useful to UUism as a faith movement.
