Objectives of LRE

• Develop an understanding of Unitarian Universalism and what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist.
• Develop a knowledge of Judeo-Christian history, art, literature, music, and their relationship to Unitarian Universalism.
• Develop an appreciation of the world's religions, especially the similarities and differences with Unitarian Universalism.
• Develop abilities and skills to address contemporary life challenges as a Unitarian Universalist.
• Develop strong bonds with children, youth, and adults in mutual pursuit of these learning objectives.

Programs for Children & Youth
