What is Religious Exploration?
Religious Exploration is a collaborative process that extends across the lifespan, a cooperative venture involving children, youth and adults, supported by staff and dedicated volunteers in our FUSIT community.
Our Religious Exploration program is run by our Director of Religious Exploration, Emily Richards. If you have any questions about our RE program, you can contact Emily by email dre@uuithaca.org. On a regular basis, congregants pose the question, “How can I help the RE Program?” Learn more about volunteering with the RE program and/or sign up to volunteer by emailing Emily Richards.
The children’s version of our UU principles guides us on this journey together as we believe:
- That each and every person is important.
- That all people should be treated fairly.
- That our religious communities are places where all people are accepted and where we keep on learning together.
- That everyone should have a vote about things that concern them.
- That each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
- In working for a peaceful, fair, and free world.
- In caring for our planet earth.
- We must work together for diversity and against racism & oppression.
