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.

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven in Tampa Bay

from UUTampa.org

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven - Volume 1: IN ANCIENT TIMES is a 5-session series of classes that will examine womens history related to art, literature and religion in the Ancient Near East, Old Europe and the predominate Western culture.  We will look at not only Christian and pre-Judaic cultures, but also to the wealth of material rooted in Africa, Asia, and original peoples of America.   It is important to note that our religious heritage cannot be contained in these five short sessions:

April 6 - The Sacred Female
April 20- In the Name of the Mother and the Daughter
May 4 -   Womanpower
May 18 -  From Goddess to God
June 1 -  Heritage of Peace

We will connect with our ancient past, with those deep roots in Goddess-oriented, possibly peaceful cultures.  We will begin to tell a new story.
