Curriculum

Building A Better World by Rev. Craig Schwalenberg & Kathy Smith
The curriculum will help participants co-create a world setting for a role-playing game while exploring questions of ethics, morality, and social justice. Participants will explore the topics of race, ecology, mortality, class, abilities, goals, community, gender identity, diversity, exclusion, cultural appropriation, and all the “ism’s” that plague our attempts to build a better world.

Coming of Age
Youth explore Unitarian Universalism, values, their beliefs, and the various ways they all connect. They will learn about the history of Unitarian Universalism and the deeds of our ancestors.  9 – 12th Graders will have the opportunity to create, write, or make a credo statement of their beliefs and become OBUUC members.

 

World Religions: Monthly Chapel: Pagan, Jewish, Sikh, Bahai, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist
