A Green Sanctuary
The Green Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is working on being recognized as a Green Sanctuary by the UUA.
Being a Green Sanctuary is one of the ways we work toward a vision of healthier, more sustainable future. We live with a deep awareness of our climate crisis and the deep environmental injustices of our time. We are committed to four practices, grounded in Unitarian Universalist principles:
- Environmental Justice: We partner with marginalized communities who are hit first and hardest by environmental crisis. In partnering with these communities we are able to address human and environmental needs at the same time.
- Worship and Celebration: As we work together towards a cleaner, more just and sustainable world, worship inspires our work and reminds us of what is most sacred and most true.
- Religious Education: Our workshops and programs for all ages shape attitudes and build practices that are sustainable and spiritually-grounded.
- Sustainable Living: We treat the world more gently by using fewer resources and being mindful of the choices we make, both as a congregation and as households.
We invite all who share these values to join us on this journey of connection, sustainability and hope.
