Tapestry is Sunsetting
The UUA is no longer updating Tapestry of Faith programs.
This is a general bibliography for Unitarian Universalist history. The Find Out More sections of individual workshops offer thematic resources.
For the duration of this program, you may wish to borrow these key resources from your congregational library or your minister. Some can be purchased from inSpirit: The UU Book and Gift Shop.
