A report from Sheryl Abrahams of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Brussels, Belgium We Unitarian Universalists take pride in our faith’s legacy of acceptance and freedom of conscience. This year, we celebrate the 450th anniversary of one of the world’s first declarations of religious tolerance, and the first official recognition of Unitarianism as a faith. […]
Alex (last name withheld by request) contacted us asking to share this post, believing that it matters that we talk about not only where we come from but how we found our way to where we are. It matters, because there are people like Alex all over, who need a community like their local Unitarian […]
Our prompt this week comes from Mariah Sheehy, a.k.a. Caelesti: I think being [Uintarian Uinviersalist] means something a little different to each individual & congregation.

This week, we offer another personal story, this time from Peggy Richards. This is based on a note she posted to Facebook back in 2009, which she shared with our community. She was gracious enough to allow us to publish it here to share with you. There is a haven in our midst. It is […]
For the past four years, along with my erstwhile co-teacher Meara Christopher and for two of those years, our Youth Programs Coordinator Libby McDonald, I have taught the Coming of Age class. This is a school semester-long course designed to serve like Confirmation in the Catholic Church, or a Bat/Bar Mitzvah in the Jewish faith. Each year […]
