"Clarify Your Values" Workshops, starting October 7 |
|
Unitarian Universalists are not a group with shared beliefs, but rather a group with shared values. Because of that, it is very important that whether you are new to the faith or a long time member that you take the time to recognize just what your values are.

Moving Into Prison Ministry -- November 9 and 10 |
|
Save the dates -- Saturday, November 9 and Sunday, November 10 for two workshops (times TBA)
Religious freedom for people living in systems of mass incarceration is protected by the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.
Yet exploring and practicing a wide breadth of spiritual and religious views can be challenging. Prisons are dominated by largely fundamentalist teachings and resources.
This conference will help people interested in prison ministry who offer alternative perspectives and can support the unmet religious and spiritual needs of those who are incarcerated. Prison ministry is an expansive term that can include such activities as becoming a pen pal, making regular in-person visits, hosting classes or worship services in prison, advocating, and more.
Learning about the realities of the prison industrial complex will help you engage in both prison ministry and justice work.
This event is hosted by the Worthy Now Prison Ministry Network (a program of the Church of the Larger Fellowship), in partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Gainesville and the Alachua County Faith Leaders Alliance. |
