Adults
July 2009 issue of “O” Oprah Magazine…………..
Adult Religious Education offers you the opportunity to be something other than a Sunday morning Unitarian Universalist. In our religion, no one tells you what to believe or how to practice your faith. You must figure that out for yourself. Our fourth principle calls that the “free and responsible search for truth and meaning.”
Adult religious educational experiences are designed to help you in your search. They give you the opportunity to discuss and process ideas with others who understand and honor your quest. They provide information from a number of viewpoints, not one-sided propaganda. They encourage your self-expression in many different ways, and in the process, they give you the opportunity to develop strong relationships with other members of our congregation.
If these are things you want as part of your religious experience, become a participant. If you are unsure about what a particular class has to offer, contact the instructor or the religious education office 452-6168 ext. 12. If you want something different than current offerings, consider teaching a class yourself or talk to members of the adult Religious Education Committee about what kind of class you want.
Our bond as a religious community is built by our willingness to share with one another. Adult Religious Educational experiences help us do that.
