Owning Your Religious Past – Adult Lifespan Education Workshop

April 22, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Facilitated by Rev. Rebecca Gant and Terina Carter over four Thursdays, 7:00-8:30, April 15, April 22, April 29, May 6

What would it be like to process your religious past and consider how to integrate that into your current religious life at UUBN? Many Unitarian Universalists come into the denomination from other religions; often there have been several stops along the path. Some bring angry or unresolved feelings about experiences in other religious institutions, others have warm memories. Some move easily into an identity as a Unitarian Universalist; others experience estrangement from family and from the center of their culture.

We can be most fully and completely present in our religious identity when we see our path as a continuum rather than a series of unrelated episodes. Because we are usually more certain of what we left in another religion than what we bring forward from it, tools used in this four session workshop will help establish connections, bridges, and resonances between past and present. This may also provide clues about the possible future direction of those paths.

This four session program is not just for “converts.” Longtime and life-long Unitarian Universalists also experience change, sometimes profoundly, in their religious identity. Owning Your Religious Past is enriched by the participation of people of varying tenure as Unitarian Universalists!
