World Religions Course, Fall 2023
“Our Neighboring Faiths” will kick off on Sunday, September 17th as our Sunday school class for grades 4+ is introduced to the program. We will take a figurative – and literal – tour of the world’s major religions, and some of the smaller ones, too! We’ll learn about the history, culture, and theology of each religion, and talk about how they relate to each other and to our values as Unitarian Universalists. We are hoping that adult members and friends of UUCWNC will enrich our youths’ experience by participating in the program.

Use our online sign-up form to register for as many different religions as you’d like, and to identify the role in which you’d like to serve for each. Maybe you’ll want to lead the class on Buddhism but only want to attend the trip to the Lumbee Tribe Pow Wow. The form will allow you to customize your personal experience and level of participation. We will update the form as additional religions are added to the schedule, so check back often!
