There are UU congregations throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut , and they are some of the Unitarian Universalist Association's more than 1050 member congregations . Our congregations stand ready to extend a warm welcome to you as you visit and worship with them. Ranging from metropolitan with a membership of over 1,000 to suburban with membership near 100, these congregations show that the progressive religious tradition is alive and well!

There are many ways to learn more about our faith tradition and its historic roots. Unitarianism began centuries ago in Transylvania and western Europe, and Universalism became popular in America in the eighteenth century. Yesterday and today, Unitarian Universalism has drawn a remarkable number of world-reknown scientists, political leaders, historians, and artists to our congregations and our spiritual practices . This group includes Thomas Jefferson, John and Abigail Adams, Christopher Reeve, Ray Bradbury, Pete Seeger, Henry David Thoreau, Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Schweitzer, Tim Berners-Lee, T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., Susan B. Anthony, and hundreds more.

To find out more about our religious practices, we invite you to read some of our pamphlets, and see in particular our introductory pamphlets. To find out more about what's on the UUA web site, you might want to take our web tour. If you are interested, please consider joining one of over 250 Unitarian Universalist online communities. The email list called "newcomers" is especially for newcomers to Unitarian Universalism.

Our list of Frequently Asked Questions may be helpful. And our Public Information Assistant is always ready to address your questions (info@uua.org ). The Newcomers Bulletin Board also has questions and answers covering a wide range of interests from newcomers to UUism.
