Congregational Life
Our congregations are rich with activities that bring us together into community. Our newsletters tell us about choir rehearsals, potluck dinners, church picnics board of trustees meetings, Volunteer Appreciation Day, Women's Alliance luncheons, Our Whole Lives classes, Caring Circle gatherings, Coming of Age overnights...Unitarian Universalists are on a journey toward a faith community that welcomes and affirms all people, a faith community that invites people with disabilities to participate fully—in all of the activities we post in our church calendars.
We can learn a lot by finding out how other congregations are doing this work, and we can discover resources that will help on the journey toward creating a truly accessible faith community.
- Begin with the Accessibilities Committee's video "A Call to Action."
- Read other congregations' inclusive mission statements and bylaws, and other inclusive documents.
- Share your documents and experiences with us.
- Send materials about ways to create inclusive congregational life.
