About Rev. Nato Holister
Nato is a 3rd generation UU who's favorite part of Unitarian Universalist was youth group. He was a national youth and young adult leader in the faith, and has been a social justice community organizer since he was a teenager. Today Nato leads a ministry called Sacred Fire UU which builds deliberate communities of people working together to create liberatory alternatives to injustice. Another way to describe it is: youth group for adults. In his spare time he plays guitar in a metal band and practices spinkicks."

Note about supervision: There will be plenty of adults on hand from The Community Church to supervise this event. But we do need to know how many folks will be here so we can provide adequate supervision. Youth advisors and staff from congregations are most welcome and helpful. Youth will be required to sign a covenant when they register which will commit us to safety and right relations for the rally.
