How Is the Tapestry of Faith Program Different?
Tapestry of Faith is a faith development program that will offer age-appropriate programs for children, youth, and adults of all ages, including young adults. It will also offer resources for parents to support children in their role as primary religious educators.Teachers will receive materials to support their role as facilitators and shapers of faith development. The key role of religious professionals will be recognized and supported as they nurture communities of lifespan religious growth and learning.
This program will offer a variety of materials in different forms. For the first time, curricula for all ages will be published on uua.org where they will be downloadable. Some resources—such as handbooks—for parents, teachers, and religious educators will be printed and sold through the UUA Bookstore.
Other materials will supplement the core curricular pieces: multi-media presentations, blogs for teachers using materials, wiki sites for those using the materials to add their ideas and supplemental images, texts and teaching suggestions, and much more. Training will also be available online with resources to connect teachers to professional religious educators ready to respond to questions and offer support.
This program is truly a twenty-first century faith development curriculum that will change the face of Unitarian Universalist religious growth and learning, while keeping the spirit of programs developed by our landmark religious educators.
