Spring Term 2007
Adult Religious Education Offerings

There are many ways to grow as a person and as a Unitarian Universalist here at UUCLR. The following list offers short descriptions of all of the Adult Religious Education offerings currently available from March through June 2007.

Watch the Outer Circle and Sunday Orders of Service for updates.

Our program is supported by four “pillars” that allow for the structure and variety essential to a comprehensive adult religious education program. You will find that every adult offering on this list connects back to one or more of our four pillars. If you have further questions about religious education within the Unitarian Universalist tradition, please see our Director of Religious Education, John Willis.


The four pillars of Adult Religious Education:
A. UU Identity and Tradition
B. Personal Growth/Spiritual Development
C. World Religions
D. World Community
