“Study as if you were going to live forever;
live as if you were going to die tomorrow.” —Maria Mitchell

The African proverb "It takes a whole village to raise a child" summarizes our pre vailing attitudes about religious education. We teach children, from toddlers to high schoolers, to esteem themselves and others, to value the beliefs and practices of the world's religions—including Unitarian and Universalist heritage—and to become socially responsible citizens who participate in projects that build upon awareness of the needs of others.

We also offer a rich variety of adult programs to foster the spiritual and personal growth and learning of all members of our congregations. Through religious education, we offer youth and adults not a narrow doctrine but a foundation that will help them make wise decisions about their own beliefs and values. We also provide a safe and nurturing place to exercise those beliefs.

"Example isn't another way to teach;
it is the only way to teach."
—Albert Einstein


God is all different colors.	God is in your heart.
For me, God is a five-year-old little girl. For my cat, God is a cat.	God is breath.
God is the curiosity inside you.	I do not believe in God. I can think what I want. I don't believe in the devil either.
I don't pretend to know things that no one could ever know.	God is a big woman who loves us all.
He is a she and a he.	He never lies, he has intelligence and most of all, he loves me.
God is the biggest camera ever made.	There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Santa Claus, there is no Tooth Fairy and there is no Jesus.
I don't believe in Zeus and I don't believe in God.	God can grant love but not a million dollars.

"Critical Thinking is the careful, deliberate determination of whether one should accept, reject, or suspend judgment about a claim and the degree of confidence with which one accepts or rejects it."
—Critical Thinking, by Parker and Moore
