On our Facebook page we have started every day this week with some quote that tries to explain what is great, what is different, and what is compelling about Unitarian Universalism. We’ve seen some mixed reactions to these posts, but they do give people some help in forming their personal answer, which is always going […]
The following are resolutions for the I Am UU project for the year 2015. They will be broken down into 3 categories: Goals (concrete things we have some control over and expect to make happen), Aspirations (ongoing things we have some control over and hope to change), and Hopes (things we don’t really have control […]
For those who didn’t realize, Facebook makes choices for you, based on your behavior on the site. Rather on anything you intentionally tell them, they go by what you click on. The goal for them is to make sure that the things you see are things that you interact with, in order to try to […]
Our prompt this week comes from Mariah Sheehy, a.k.a. Caelesti: I think being [Uintarian Uinviersalist] means something a little different to each individual & congregation. Part of this is due to all the different paths we follow. I’m a polytheist- sometimes I debate how well that fits in w/ a UU context, but I’m working […]

It is not a secret to anyone who knows of the I Am UU project AND the brothers John and Hank Green that the guy in charge of I Am UU, namely me, is a Nerdfighter. In short, Nerdfighters are fans of the work the Greens do – through their art, their Vlogbrothers YouTube channel, […]
!["This is what an evangelist believes: that there is a wonderful idea that should be shared, because it is likely to be [a] gift to others; because it has the power to transform people and lives for the better; because it is an idea that can save something worth saving.

After a post about Unitarian Universalist Evangelism last week, about how it changes lives for some people, Layne Richard-Hammock shared her story. She says that she is happy to tell people about Unitarian Universalist Principles and what her inclusion in her church means to her. These are her own words: In 1992-3 I first came […]
This week, we offer another personal story, this time from Peggy Richards, who is one of our Patreon supporters (–>) and a big contributor on our Facebook page. This is based on a note she posted to Facebook back in 2009, which she shared on the Facebook page last week. She was gracious enough to […]
