Rev. Nate was invited to participate in a panel entitled "Abundance in Troubled Times" at the 2009 General Assembly. "Times of economic stress put pressure on our congregations and make living a theology of generosity challenging. Are there limits to a theology of abundance? How many special collections are too many? Does generous giving to UU and outside organizations increase or decrease giving to the local congregation?" Hosted by Rev. Beth Graham, Laurel Amabile and Rev. Dr. Stephan Papa. Co-panelists include Erika Hewitt, Jeanne Pupke and Liz Lerner. The following recording is the 6 minute clip of Rev. Nate's opening words.
