Religious Education
Unitarian Universalist minister Tom Owen Toole wrote:
“The mission of Unitarian Universalist (UU) religious education is to create and sustain an intergenerational community of truthfulness and service, holiness and love. This imperative should undergird and guide our social action, liturgy, and stewardship as well.
“Unitarian Universalist religious education is neither book nor guru centered. It is not adult or even child centered. It is congregation centered, wherein all ages cooperatively engage in what Starr Williams called ‘a cycle of nurturing.’ Hence, our educational perspective must be grounded in sound ecclesiology and focus on all members being religious, remembering, re-creative, responsible, respectful, renewable and reverent pilgrims.”
Religious Education, along with our worship services, is at the heart of our lives as Unitarian Universalists, because we believe in lifelong learning. Our goal at UUFNB is to promote the “intergenerational community of truthfulness and service, holiness and love” that Rev. Owen Toole mentions above.
