Led by UUA's Multicultural Congregations Program Coordinator Rev. Alicia R. Forde (keynotespeaker), the conference also includes breakout groups to consider issues in depth.

Rev. Forde will present an experiential program, "Building the World We Dream About," in which participants will practice dreaming of ways to interrupt racism and transform how

people from different racial and ethnic groups understand and relate to one another.

In another breakout group, Southeast District President and member of the UU Fellowship of Beaufort, SC Jim Key will facilitate a discussion on "Race and Place: Finding Opportunities for Witness and Linkage."

Pat Callair, Chair of Southeast District implementation Committee (The SED Dream Team), will facilitate "Seeing Everyone as our Own."

A conference fee of $15 includes lunch (scholarships available). Register online at www.eruuf.org or call the Office, 919-489-2575.

The conference is part of Eno River's Installation Weekend when Rev. Deborah Cayer will be recognized and celebrated as Eno River's fourth Lead Minister. A Service of

Installation will take place at 4 p.m., Sun., Feb. 12, 2012 in the Fellowship's Sanctuary. Rev. Cayer has expressed her wish that the subject of congregational diversity be made a

focus during Installation Weekend. The one-day conference is a fulfillment of that wish. In addition, the theme will be extended the next day when Rev. Forde preaches on a similar

topic at both morning services.
