What she stated in 2019 still rings true today, “What this means for UBE’s present and future? We are doing significant work, locally, nationally, and internationally. In the coming months I want to see us do more to let people know. It’s time to put to rest recurring questions about the relevance and necessity of UBE. That’s best done by sharing our story nd articulating our narrative in way that demonstrates why UBE is the ideal response to such a time as this.”
When something is happening ay a local, diocesan, or chapter level that involves UBE members and furthers UBE’s aims, please let us know. The Very Rev. Kim L. Coleman can be reached at kcoleman@theube.org
