Psst, seminarians, over here. Recently ordained folks, too. I gotta question.
Whatever happened to Aspire? I haven’t a clue and there’s nothing to be found at UUA.org.

I’m pretty sure Aspire is no more. I was really into Aspire in the late ’90s when I was still a seminarian-wannabe, heard a little about it my first year or so of seminary (2000-01), then nothing after that.
For example, at a continental Young Adult gathering in August 2002, where at least half a dozen seminary students were present (plus some future semiarians), nobody mentioned Aspire.
Which raises a corrollary question: is it still needed? I’m not trying to imply that it’s not, or that it is; it’s an honest question.
Which leads this UU seminarian to ask: what is “Aspire”?

Just ordained this spring. Aspire?
????
I guess that’s all I have to say about that.

Aspire was organization for UU seminarians in formation for ordination. It was active while I was in seminary (2000 – 2004).
I think it became “Perspire” in 2007. I’m a member.
