LUT Circle
Our bi-monthly LUT Circle is designed to provide a safe space for LUTs from our region (and beyond) to discuss matters of spiritual leadership within our ministries, relationships with our ministers and other LUTs, our connections with each other, and anything else that we deem worthy discussing.
Our first call (content session) is usually recorded and provides important information on a specific topic. Our second call (Q&A session) is unrecorded and allows for the confidential discussion about each month’s topic.
Join our LUT Circle to form and nurture new and old relationships with your fellow LUTs to support each other as we support our beloved ministries and movement as a whole.

FAQs
Can I earn CEU credits by attending this support call?
Yes! Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWM) will accept any hour attending our support calls as CEU credits. The recording and reporting of such hours to UWM remain the responsibility of each individual. Ethics and Inclusivity CEUs are earned as the topics are specifically offered. For any questions, please contact UWM directly.
Do I have to be an LUT to join the meeting?
Yes, the meetings are designed to support active LUTs in the ministry. However, retired LUTs as well as those having completed all requirements for SDS are welcome to join as well.
I used to be an LUT but I am now a minister. Can I still join?
While we value any minister who has spent the time and energy to follow the LUT path first, this particular meeting is design to offer a safe space who are still active in the position of an LUT. We humbly ask those ministers obviously still passionate about being an LUT to allow us this space to grow and nurture.
Do I have to commit to joining every meeting?
No, while it would be valuable for a core group to continue meeting and building the much-needed relationships within and without our region, our meetings are open to be attended as they are needed.
I am an LUT from a different region. Can I still join?
Yes, USCR continues to seek the collaboration across all regions within the Unity movement and is more than happy to foster inter-regional relationships. Any LUT from any region is welcome to join our meetings.
I can’t meet at the time and day the meetings are held. Are there any recordings I can watch?
No, because we would like to provide a safe space for our LUTs to meet, we will not record our meetings to preserve our privacy and confidentiality.
Do you have any other LUT-specific events?
We continue to evolve our support system for our LUTs as we learn more about the specific desires that are shared with us. Any development will be communicated via our monthly newsletter for which you can sign up below.
