We moved from Boston to Boston.

So I’m not the world’s most excited with the news about this move down the road of the UUA HQ.  Don’t get me wrong – yes, it’s a positive step getting the HQ staff under one accessible (in all ways) roof, but really.  Are there really people that excited about this who don’t live in Boston?

Despite the denominational leadership stuff I’ve done and currently do, I’ve never been to Boston as a UU.  I’ve only been once, in college, for a training with Oxfam America and I saw approximately 0.1% of the city.  I’ve never been to Beacon street, never been to those guest houses (whatever they’re called – I totally forget at the moment – Picket and Eliot I think?  The denominational committee I’m on doesn’t meet in Boston.  We meet in Atlanta.)  My only interactions with UUA staff have been email, rare phone call and even rarer video conferencing.

Yet, the only reason I’m really truly even minorly interested in this move is how it’ll affect the CLF HQ, since I’m on staff there now.

But really.  In a time where we could use bold leadership, I can’t see a move down the street as bold, forward thinking.  And I don’t see how the move reflects our bold aspirations or how it’s a historic move.

Count me in the camp of “uhm, ok, good and all but why the big fuss?”

Yes, I know there will be those all riled up about the historical side and how we’re moving from our historical roots (as if our greater faith hasn’t already done that) but really.  This isn’t as big of a change from even my only-kinda-insider-perspective.  How will this move help the denomination grow?  How will this move help our local congregation be able to afford our staff?  How will this actually modernize our faith and help us live it in the real world?  That’s what the message needs to be, not that we’re going to be able to retain staff in a more accessible headquarters.  Because right now, I, along with at least a couple hundred thousand UUs, really don’t get why we should be excited for a move from Boston to Boston.
