Unitarianism and Universalism were born out of a hopeful, optimistic culture which foresaw an end to slavery and an expansion of voting rights. Today it’s not so clear what progress awaits.

What Makes You Belong?
2026-01-04 12:00 - 13:30

UU Principles Reflection Circle (Online)
2026-01-06 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-01-13 19:00 - 20:30
This series runs January to April, 1st and 2nd Tuesdays, on Zoom. It is the same Zoom link as our Sunday services.
In each session, we explore one of our 8 principles: What the principle means to you; how it has shown up in your life; how you might live it more fully; how it enhances or challenges your other deeply held beliefs.
The series is a reflection circle, in which we help each other to tune into our own inner teachers. It is not a space for advising, correcting, steering or testing each other. Come as a fellow traveler as we weave our learning journeys together. You are encouraged to attend most or all sessions. Drop-ins are also welcome. Email Ben to receive reflection questions in advance of each session, minister@uuch.ca

We begin a 3-week series on belonging by honouring the tragic happenstance of not having other hearts open to you, and we consider what to do about it. Stay after the service for a discussion of what makes you feel like you belong.

What Helps Others Belong?
