Why teach?
Testimonials about Teaching in Faith 

Have you ever experienced wonder while teaching or working with children or youth in your congregation? Does teaching make you more connected to your congregation, community, spirituality or faith? How does teaching nurture your soul?

We are seeking testimonials and stories about what adults learn, experience, ponder, enjoy, struggle with and gain through their experiences of being part of the religious education program in their congregations. Stories about small moments are welcome as are longer tales about teaching and journeys of faith.

We hope to share our stories of teaching in faith on this website. Together we will weave a greater narrative about what it means to engage in the spiritual practice of teaching in faith.

Inquires and testimonials can be sent to: teacherdevelopment@uua.org .
