The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Phoenix strives to be a spiritual community for our time, focused on diverse theological perspectives, radical inclusion, and knowing that issues of justice and equity shape everything we do.
With a special awareness for those who have been historically marginalized, we welcome all, of every race, class, ethnicity, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious background, mental and physical ability and disability. We welcome your whole self, your family into our worship as we build a community of caring, courage, and hope.
We are passionate about anti-racism, anti-oppression, equality, and justice work. Social justice is not just a component of our ministry; it is embedded into every part of us. We strive for a multicultural anti-oppression presence in every aspect of what we do, including worship, outreach, and even committee work.
Let's Celebrate! We'll celebrate our Coming of Age graduates and our high school graduates, we'll bless our new babies, and we'll share gratitude for our volunteers and leaders. It's going to be chock-full of joy, achievement, and fun!
In our series on White Supremacy Culture, we'll explore the widely-accepted belief that "bigger is better" and that progress means having/getting/doing more.
May Day's joyful history focuses on the new growing season of plants and animals after the fallow seasons of winter and early spring. As beautiful expressions of earthly kin-dom, how might we celebrate our lives anew?
While Earth Day is often about how much we love nature, animals, and specific actions we can take, this year, we must acknowledge that we're at a critical point, and possibly a point of no return. When it comes to climate justice, where do we find hope? And, if we can't, how do we prepare for the crises that will continue to increase?
Prepare your most creative, fun or outrageous Easter "bonnets." We'll be talking about why Easter is such a celebration for Christians and have a little joy and celebration ourselves with our own little Easter Parade.
As we continue living into our 8th Principle, we'll explore one of the hardest characteristics of White Supremacy Culture—the avoidance of conflict and the need for comfort. We'll talk about what that means for us individually and as a community.
