Widening the Conversation (FY25)
In FY25, Starr King can harness our expanded reach to become a more influential voice in conversations about those things core to what Starr King does. The focus here would be on how we can actively engage in and influence the national and international conversations happening around religious leadership and practice, educating to counter oppressions and create just and sustainable communities, and counter-oppressive sacred social change.
The following questions can help guide Starr King in thinking about how to widen the conversation:
- What is the conversation happening around sacred social change, countering oppressions, creating just and sustainable communities, religious leadership and practice, and theological education? What is missing from those conversations?
- What and who is centered in conversations around social change, religious leadership, and theological education? What and who should be centered?
- What can we contribute to these conversations?
- How can we best engage in and foster these conversations on religious leadership and practice, educating to counter oppressions and create just and sustainable communities, and counter-oppressive sacred social change?
- How can we harness the thought leadership of our staff, faculty, students, and others to influence and shift these conversations?
- How can we help our staff, faculty, students, and others actively engage in those conversations?
