Imagination allows us to create something in our mind, while creativity is the ability to make something new that is real. While we have both imagination and creativity in early childhood, some of this becomes lost in the process of becoming educated. There are some well-known tricks to re-connect with our creative imagination, for example, cutting from magazines and moving the pieces around on a scrap board until something new clicks. Like small children, we can learn to use the bits and pieces we have and to fill in the blank spaces between them. The task currently considered by Unitarian Universalists in the revision of the bylaws can be likened to this kind of assignment. How shall we connect the recommendations that came out of the report of the UUA called “Widening the Circle of Concern” with such essential values? Can we tap into our imagination and creativeness as we address this task? Led by guest speaker, Dr. Brigitte Bechtold.
