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. Â 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.
