U/U Global Network

Visual of the U/U Global Network, the circular components forming a circle (each one connected by double-headed arrows) around the central circle, which reads "Relationships at the Heart." The other componets are "Global U/U & FC Communities," "Leadership & Design Team," "Facilitating Collaboration," "Nurturing," "Fiscal Agent," "International U/U Funding Program," "Online Platforms," and "Feedback & Reflection."

In 2024 the U/U Global Network was established, led by a collaborative group called the Leadership and Design Team. The U/U Global Network is focused on:

  • Fostering collaboration and mutual support among diverse U/U groups, emerging communities, and initiatives
  • Building and maintaining relationships with U/U leaders and communities across the world with open communication
  • Responding to the emerging needs and priorities of the global U/U community as raised by community members
  • Providing assistance and resources to U/U individuals and organizations who seek help

Background

The formation of the U/U Global Network is a direct result of the re-imagining process initiated by the International Council of Unitarians/Universalists & Free Christian Churches (ICUU) and the UU Partner Church Council (UUPCC), in collaboration with the UUA. The ICUU and UUPCC agreed that their organizations should dissolve so that a new vision for global U/U connection could take shape.
