Do you have a story to tell? Have you experienced something that opened your heart in a way that changed how you understand who “we” are as Unitarian Universalists? Would you like to tell that story as part of a Storytelling Jam at General Assembly in Portland this year?

We’re looking for stories that are funny, touching, inspiring, affirming and/or challenging. Stories can speak to just about any way your sense of “we” expanded regarding ethnicity/race, class, dis/ability, gender/sexuality, theology, etc. The goal is to present a mix of good stories from a variety of perspectives and experiences that come together in one beautiful, poignant hour of storytelling.
