Virtue Ethics: An Ethical Development Program for High School Youth

By Jessica York

We make hundreds of decisions every day. Some are small. Some are life changing, although we may not know their significance when we make them. This program’s premise—in the words of the Buddha, recited in every workshop Opening—is that “our thoughts and actions become habits and our habits shape our character.” We have some control over our character. We can shape the person we want to be by making intentional, thoughtful decisions.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the "other" is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Stephanie Palmer-Smith, Director Religious Exploration: I came to find friends. I stay because they became my family.

Sej Harman, Member: I chose the UUCC as my spiritual home nearly 40 years ago because this community acknowledged my talents and abilities, encouraged me to flourish as a unique individual, and expected me to help bring about a better world—without having to bow down to anyone else's idea of what I should believe or how I should be.

Best Church:
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

"A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection? A church that regularly presents nationally touring singer-songwriters? A church where half the congregation might have been at Hunter-Gatherer the night before? Now that’s a church we can support."

Dan Cook Free Times

I come to UUCC because I find here space, time, and gentle help to work on becoming a better person; and a laboratory in which to practice being that better person.
