The Adult Religious Exploration and Enrichment Program is dedicated to fostering spiritual growth, exploration of the meaning and purpose of life, and personal development that engages the whole person – intellect, emotion, and spirit –in alignment with the guiding vision and mission of the Fellowship.

We envision the congregation as “a learning community of faith” where members and friends can be mentors, learners and practitioners together. We welcome and involve newcomers and seekers to the Fellowship. We seek to grow our Unitarian Universalist identity and to empower the congregation to put UU values into practice in the world. Our goal is to deepen personal relationships within the congregation and provide opportunities for those who are seeking meaning, connection and spiritual growth.

Deconstructing Mythologies of Unitarian Anti-Racism:
The 2025 Minns Lectures

Minns Lectures are an innovative forum for contemporary religious thought. Through Unitarian Universalist perspectives, dynamic speakers illuminate critical topics for today’s world inspiring profound personal insights, vibrant group discussions, and participation in the larger global conversation.

Since merger, Unitarian Universalism has struggled with constructing a white anti-racist identity. Recent scholarship centering black lives and revealing the depths of white supremacy culture has challenged the usual pre-merger historical narrative, which centered on heroic Unitarian abolitionists and 20th century political leaders.

Three Minns Lectures for 2025 seek to demythologize this common narrative:

Lecture 1: Rehearsal for Reconstruction by Rev. Dr. Wayne Arnason
April 30th, 5:00 – 7:00 PM PST

Lecture 2: To Uplift the Race
 by Rev. Lisa Friedman
May 8th, 4:00 – 6:00 PM PST

Lecture 3: Founders or Followers? by Rev. Dr. Mark Morrison-Reed
May 14th, 4:00 – 6:00 PM PST
