Stories Between Us: Oral Histories from a Countercultural Congregation; Plus a Guide to Creating Your Own Oral History Project shares life histories of activist UU elders. The elders are all members of the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, a locus for social activism. Lisa Rubens of the Regional Oral History Office at UC Berkeley calls the project "a wonderful compendium of social memory and historical documentation." Illustrated by photos, the oral history excerpts also serve as a model for other congregations. The book features a step-by-step guide for creating an intergenerational oral history project similar to the Berkeley Fellowship Project. The book provides guidance about interview techniques, recording methods, project design, volunteer recruitment, and creating a community history celebration. It also includes curricula for six intergenerational story circles.
