Welcome! The Women and Religion Movement is alive and well in the 21st Century. A grassroots project started by lay leaders in the 1970s as an effort to promote examination of religious roots of sexism and patriarchy within the UUA and beyond, UU Women and Religion officially began as a task force following the unanimously-passed WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION at the 1977 UUA General Assembly. Although the Task Force was eventually sunsetted, the movement still exists in UU communities that hold Women & Religion programs and gatherings for those who identify as women. It exists at the UU General Assembly, where UUW&R brings our Store to the Exhibit Hall and occasionally hosts a gathering. And it lives in the hearts and lives of people who have been touched by the many changes inspired by this movement.

GA2008

General Assembly 2008
Many of us were at the GA in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. Here are some photos of our booth and from the Annual Gathering. Rev. Addae Watson conducted the opening service and Rev. Shirley Ranck was our keynote speaker.

We passed a budget, honored the women of Florida District in solidarity with their memorial to the Clearwater family's tragedy, and elected new co-conveners. We are seeking a Secretary to round out our core group. Contact me if you are interested in working in this volunteer capacity.

The purple banner at the bottom of the booth is the memorial to the Clearwater family. It will soon become a traveling memorial to raise awareness about issues related to domestic and sexual violence and violence against women. Stay tuned.
