The "UU Path"Come, Come Whoever You Are We offer Starting Point twice a year on two days in two sessions each day.
|
The idea of “the UU path” is central to Starting Point. Inspired by the classic UU slogan, “deeds not creeds,” we present Unitarian Universalism as a particular way of journeying through the world rather than a set of beliefs to which one assents. Today, people are not so much looking for an organization to join as they are searching for companions to walk with. Their question is not so much “Do these people think and believe like I do?” but “Will this place provide me with tools and partners for my journey?” We hope so.
This emphasis on journey shapes Starting Point’s content and structure. We schedule four online sessions. The first session focuses on your personal spiritual journey and how it led you to Unitarian Universalism. The second session shifts to the historical journey of Unitarian Universalism and UU Santa Fe history. From there, the third session moves into the shared journey of how you and our community will walk together. This “common journey” is organized into four core experiences of Unitarian Universalism:
We hope these journey groups invite you to go deeper—beyond words and ideas about Unitarian Universalism—to actual practice and experience so that eventually you will realize, as Thich Nhat Hanh writes, “...that our life is the path, and we no longer rely merely on the forms of practice.” |
Starting Point sessions are led by Ministry, Lifelong Learning and Community Life teams.
