What I Believe In
Facilitated by Reverend Connie Grant
As Unitarian Universalists, we formulate our beliefs in terms of credo (“I believe”) not creed (“we believe”). Our own stories are among our sacred texts, and we are responsible for developing our own beliefs in light of our experience and conscience. Participants from our recent credo-building workshop will share their belief statements.
