Tapestry of Faith programs and resources for all ages were designed to nurture Unitarian Universalist identity, spiritual growth, a transforming faith, and vital communities of justice and love.
The vision for Tapestry of Faith developed out of a broad series of conversations, starting around 2000, to articulate a future direction for Unitarian Universalist religious growth and learning. A UUA Curriculum Development Committee, chaired by the Rev. Barry M. Andrews, generated, structured, and advocated for the Tapestry of Faith program. The Tapestry of Faith development team of UUA staff and a wide array of contributors was led by Judith Frediani.
In use since 2008, Tapestry of Faith offers a scope and sequence of UU faith development programming for children, youth, adults, and multigenerational groups, all provided online at no charge, and many other deep resources for lifelong faith development. The vision for Tapestry of Faith supports lifespan learning outcomes across four strands: ethical development, faith development, spiritual development, and Unitarian Universalist identity.
Congregations are still welcome to explore Tapestry of Faith materials for stories and activities for all ages. However, we ask your discernment. Many stories and activities lack the antiracism/anti-oppression perspective that today's Unitarian Universalist faith demands. Often, the curricula lack opportunities for whole church, integrated, lifespan faith experiences. Also, it's important to remember that UUA staff are no longer revising or correcting Tapestry of Faith pages.
To understand the significance of Tapestry of Faith when the UUA launched it, please watch a video introduction from the Reverend William G. Sinkford, former president and former interim co-president of the UUA.
