Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education Not Meeting (24 November 2024)

Our adult religious education class is not meeting this Sunday (24 November 2024).

This adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.

Our dual-platform adult religious education class will begin reading and discussing Love at the Center.

This is an anthology of Unitarian Universalist theological writings by various leaders of our movement seeking to answer the question posed by Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt in the book’s introduction:

“We may agree that love is central, but what does that mean to us and what does it require of us?”

This book is currently available only in ebook format pending final edits of the approved revisions to Article II of the UUA Bylaws at the 2024 General Assembly (Kindle, Nook, and Kobo).
