Faith Development Offering: UU History 101
Part of our Faith Forward Path, UU History 101 is a 6-session introduction to concepts and people from our history. In this series, we approach history from the starting point of compelling stories and personalities. We will explore the questions those people faced, and make connections with our own lives and the world around us today. The overarching question is: how can history be translated into our religious life and practice? In addition to learning about history, we hope you will learn about yourselves.
Facilitators: Siri Laurin and Tom MacTavish.
