First Unitarian Church:
A Green Sanctuary Since 2002
Congregations and congregants work together to restore Earth and renew Spirit. The Green Sanctuary Program, originally nurtured and managed by the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth, is designed to give roots and wings to the vision that, together, we can create a world in which all people make reverence, gratitude, and care for the living Earth that is central to our lives.
The Green Sanctuary Program...
• Provides the framework for congregations to begin specific projects and activities that lead to recognition as a Green Sanctuary through candidacy and then accreditation.
• Invites congregations to embark on an exploration of what it means to live today within a religious community on an imperiled Earth.
• Is a way for all Unitarian Universalists to join our efforts, both symbolically and explicitly, in becoming stewards of the Earth.
A Green Sanctuary is a Congregation that...
• Has received official recognition for completing the Green Sanctuary Program.
• Lives out its commitment to the Earth by creating sustainable lifestyles for its members as individuals and as a faith community.
• Is committed towards creating a religious community that has a fundamental, bottom-line, commitment to living in harmony with the Earth.
By reading the Green Sanctuary Manual and following the Green Sanctuary Program Process, any congregation can become a Green Sanctuary. For more information contact uua_greensanctuary @ uua.org.
