WHAT MOVES US
This Spring, intern Campus Minister, Kim Tomaszewski, will offer a new field test class created by Rev. Dr. Thandeka, entitled What Moves Us.  This 10-part class will explore how for many Unitarian Universalists, personal experiences become the primary source of our religious convictions.  Each week will begin by telling a story of a Unitarian, Universalist, or Unitarian Universalist forebear who had a change of heart that moved them to a new theological understanding in their liberal religious faith. The selections represent some major theological streams of our faith tradition and display our racial, ethnic, gender, and class diversity.Classes will be held each Thursday evening from at 6:30-8pm, starting February 11. This is not a class for Unitarian Universalists only, but primarily for spiritual seekers who value the personal experience as authoritative to their spirituality.

Why attend the UUYAG? One Young Adult gave the following answer "The people and their different perspectives make the meetings what they are – serious or humorous. It’s a cheesy simile, but rather apt: the group is kind of like a book club where we talk about selections and themes from the stories of our lives." learn more
