What does religious education mean to UUs?
Religious education, or religious learning and growth, is the life-long process by which we come to more deeply understand who we are in the world, what our lives and actions mean, and how we are connected to the past and future of humanity. It is the on-going process of maturing, of growing souls, of coming toward the fullness of our human potential. Religious education is classes, books and conversations, attentive walks in nature and prayerful moments of silence. It is all of the ways we come to more deeply understand our connections with the interdependent web of life, with the great teachers throughout history, with our neighbors and with the strangers whom we come to understand are our neighbors as well.
