Goals of the Module 

The overall goals of this module are:

  • To learn how this process unfolds in youth raised as Unitarian Universalists and persons who came to the faith later in life
  • To identify ways to foster the process, specifically among Religious Education participants and generally among congregants
  • To explore the Unitarian Universalist Principles and Sources as part of identity development.

Technical Considerations

The webinar platform is Zoom, which you can download from Zoom. In order to register and access module materials, participants must have or create a UUA profile name. On UUA.org, click on “create account” at the top right and follow instructions on the page.  If you have already participated in an online module, use the profile name you have already created. You must have a UUA.org username and provide it during your registration for the module. This allows the module facilitators to add you to the group so you can begin the preparation required before the first session.
