Tapestry of Faith Program

We will be exploring the UUA’s Tapestry of Faith curricula, which includes programs and resources for all ages that nurture Unitarian Universalist identity, spiritual growth, a transforming faith, and vital communities of justice and love. These resources emerged from a broad series of conversations among UU Churches that articulated a future direction for Unitarian Universalist religious growth and learning. Denomination-wide focus groups were then formed to help shape a program that would offer a variety of resources—downloadable, printable, viewable, interactive, and more—that would foster a religious growth-and-learning program for the twenty-first century.

Tapestry of Faith offers a vision shaped by these key beliefs:

  • All people are loveable beings of infinite worth, imbued with powers of the soul. We are obligated to use our gifts, talents, and potentials in the service of life.
  • We carry on our Unitarian Universalist religious heritage and are part of a community of faith that has value and provides resources for living.
  • We honor our responsibility for the care and creative transformation of our religious heritage and community of faith.
  • We are moral agents who can make a difference in the lives of other people by challenging structures of social and political oppression; promoting the health and well-being of the planet; and acting in the service of diversity, justice, and compassion.
  • We recognize the need for community and affirm the importance of families, relationships, and connections between and among the generations.
  • We appreciate the value of spiritual practice as a means of deepening faith and integrating beliefs and values with everyday life.
  • Joy and sadness are part of our lives: hope, mystery, joy, healing, and personal transformation come together with life’s challenges.

Tapestry of Faith’s goals:

  • Ethical development
  • Spiritual development
  • Unitarian Universalist identity
  • Faith development

Tapestry of Faith offers several programs at many levels. We will be using four programs this year in our R.E. Program. All programs focus around four themes that create intentional, multigenerational opportunities:

  • Living Faith
  • Seeking Truth
  • Creating Love
  • Serving Community
