Living the Welcoming Congregation: Resources for Continuing the Welcoming Congregation Journey
Living the Welcoming Congregation, sometimes known as “Welcoming Congregation 2” or “200-level Welcoming Congregation” is a curriculum that was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association in 2004 as one possible next step that congregations can take after becoming recognized as a Welcoming Congregation.
Many congregations utilize this series of workshops after becoming recognized or as part of a Welcoming Congregation refresher program. It is no longer required that a congregation be recognized as a Welcoming Congregation before using this curriculum, but it is recommended that congregations and participants using Living the Welcoming Congregation already have a basic understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identities and issues and that they have already made a commitment to being a welcoming space for individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
