Congregational Life

Our congregations are rich with activities that bring us together into community. Our newsletters tell us about: Choir rehearsal; potluck dinner; church picnic; board of trustees meeting; Volunteer Appreciation Day; Women's Alliance luncheon; OWL class; Caring Circle gathering; Coming of Age over-night...

Unitarian Universalists are on a journey toward a faith community that welcomes and affirms all people, a faith community that invites people with disabilities to participate fully – in all of the activities we post in our church calendars.

We can learn a lot by finding out how other congregations are doing this work, and we can discover resources that will help on the journey toward creating a truly accessible faith community.

• Begin with the Accessibilities Committee's video "A Call to Action"
• Read other congregations' inclusive mission statements and bylaws, and other inclusive documents
• Share your documents and experiences with us and we will add resources as we can. Send materials about ways to create inclusive congregational life to us at: access@uua.org
