A Chorus of Faiths, High School Youth: Unitarian Universalists as Interfaith Leaders
A Chorus of Faiths
A Chorus of Faiths, High School Youth
© 2010
Part of a joint venture of the UUA and the Interfaith Youth Core (founded by Eboo Patel) and funded by the Shelter Rock congregation, these sessions develop Unitarian Universalist youth as interfaith leaders. Youth explore values of service to our community and religious pluralism through stories from our Sources and personal storytelling, and coordinate an interfaith service.
