A chance to experience first-hand not only the spirit of Revival, but also  
the Tulsa churches have several ground-breaking initiatives: All Souls in Tulsa 
 has transformed one of its worship services, the Sunday 11:30 a.m. one, and  
is making other innovative changes as it begins walking its path with Bishop  
Carlton Pearson and many members of his former church which has made national 
 news for its embrace of universal salvation; Church of Restoration has been  
living for 20 years its multi-ethnic, multi-racial mission as a UU 
congregation  in the historic black Greenwood district of Tulsa and creation of a Center 
 for Racial Justice; The LivingRoom Church, an emerging church, has become a 
role  model already in how to do missional, incarnational community church 
planting,  and doing so in a multi-racial area that is the Tulsa zip code with 
the  lowest income and lowest life expectancy; Hope Church in south Tulsa  
recently celebrated its 40th year and was part of the great outreach and  expansion 
of that time that has made the Tulsa area benefit from such a strong  UU 
presence.
