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.
Being a teacher during the pandemic has been more than hard. Many people have either quit--or wanted to. What keeps us all from quitting when things get hard? And what can we learn from one of the great teachers in our congregation?
Our Vision says that we are striving to be "Radically Inclusive." But is that enough to just include everyone? Don't we want more than just being included? What would it take to feel Radical Belonging
There are so many things that Elena Perez, an Indigenous member of our congregation, could talk about for Indigenous People’s Day. But she is requesting that you do the work yourselves…and instead will tell you what brings her joy through her unique sense of humor.
This year, we are going to be talking about attributes of White Supremacy Culture, i.e., the culture we all are swimming in. We will start with one of the big ones—Perfectionism. How does our need to be perfect hold us back from being good? And how is living in the "imperfect" a way to fight racism?
When things move too fast, when we don't have the right information, when everything seems impossible, how do we find peace? Join us as we discover ways to accept, navigate, and celebrate transition.
