Education
The Social Justice Committee raises the consciousness of the congregation about
issues with educational events, including discussion groups, films, book club selections,
trainings, speakers and forums such as:
- Food for Thought Forums (i.e., facilitated discussions on social justice topics guided by our UU principles);
- Children and youth are educated about human sexuality and human relations using the Our Whole Lives (OWL) curriculum, which is open to the wider community;
- Social-justice-themed Sunday Services;
- Social justice updates and inspirations during our services;
- Support for equality for the LGBTQ+ community;
- Anti-racism training.
Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. One that applies to our purpose of providing educational opportunities is:
4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
