Curriculum and Learning Resources

Looking to the future ...
A new lifespan integrated curriculum for Unitarian Universalists of all ages is being developed by the Curriculum Office of the UUA's Lifespan Faith Development Staff Group.

INTEGRATING FOUR STRANDS

• Ethical development
• Spiritual development
• Religious Identity
• Faith development

Vision Statement: We envision children, youth, and adults who:

• know that they are lovable beings of infinite worth, imbued with powers of the soul, and obligated to use their gifts, talents, and potentials in the service of life;
• affirm that they are part of a Unitarian Universalist religious heritage and community of faith that has value and provides resources for living;
• accept that they are responsible for the stewardship and creative transformation of their religious heritage and community of faith in the service of diversity, justice, and compassion;
• realize that they are moral agents, capable of making a difference in the lives of other people, challenging structures of social and political oppression, and promoting the health and well-being of the planet;
• recognize the need for community, affirming the importance of families, relationships and connections between and among the generations;
• appreciate the value of spiritual practice as a means of deepening faith and integrating beliefs and values of everyday life;
• experience hope, joy, mystery, healing, and personal transformation in the midst of life's challenges.
