The Six Sources
Ours is a living tradition, which draws from a variety of sources for wisdom and spirituality: We affirm and promote these Six Sources:
- Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
- Words and deeds of prophetic people which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
- Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
- Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
- Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit;
- Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature
We have a strong group of volunteer members and parents who lead Religious Education classes. We are always interested in finding new volunteers with their varied gifts. Teaching can be a fulfilling way to deepen one’s own faith.
Children’s religious education programs are typically held on Sunday mornings after the “story for all ages” in the adult service. We invite you to look through the following pages and contact us at contact us at info[at]guuf with any questions or requests for further information.
