Our Unitarian Universalist values have always pushed our people to show up, to risk, to struggle for justice and liberation and radically inclusive communities centered in Love. The heart of our faith transcends cultural shifts and political trends. But at key moments throughout the centuries, our religious ancestors have also always been willing to transform themselves and their faith to meet the needs of the moment – to let go of what no longer serves, to open to new possibilities, to seize opportunities and lean into aspiration and innovation. At our best, Unitarian Universalists are both deeply grounded in our core values and shared commitments and nimble enough to respond to the challenges and opportunities that emerge in rapidly changing times.
Meet the Moment is a movement-wide framework helping Unitarian Universalists analyze, discern, and take values-based action in response to today’s religious, cultural, generational, and political realities.
Get Started with Meet the Moment!
- Choose from a single three-hour session, or three 90-minute sessions, designed to introduce and practice the framework with a variety of groups and constituencies within your community.
- We asked leaders across the faith to answer these questions for Unitarian Universalism broadly, and their answers are provocative and inspiring.
- Join UUA staff to hear the stories our data tells — and the questions it raises — about the moment our faith is in.
- Grow your skills, deepen your understanding, and prime your imagination in the company of other UUs across the faith as new Wave Cohorts launch this Fall.
- Whether you participated in one of our Wave Cohort spaces at General Assembly, or are simply curious about what Wave Cohorts are like, check out the videos and other resources from our Spring Wave Cohorts.
