Do Unitarian Universalists get to believe anything they want? Can they keep the easy stuff and ignore “religion” when it gets hard? We as UUs profess a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This means while we all covenant to affirm and promote our 7 principles we do not all follow the same path to that truth and meaning. Though Unitarian Universalism is its own theology, it encompasses many personal theologies we each have as individuals. Our UU community is where we carry out the process of building our personal theology.
Join Adult Religious Education facilitators Shiela Burrows and Denise Runnels as we walk through UU Richard Gilbert’s “Introduction to Building Your Own Theology.” This workshop will “provide some tools for building a theology based on the materials of individual life experiences.” Gilbert’s program is “designed to provide a systematic, disciplined, and communal approach to the process.” As he says “we have gathered together not to believe alike, but, to love alike, to live religiously together.”
We will meet Sunday evenings in January beginning January 8th. This four week workshop will meet each Sunday through January 29th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you need childcare, please let Denise or Nancy Finley know at least one week in advance, Adult.RE@uuch.org.
