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.

Help us Capture Our Story

Lucile and RosemaryIn this 40th year since the adoption of the UU WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION, we are making a special effort to collect and archive our story.

Do you have photos of women who you remember for their contribution to the UU Women's movement?

Do you know women you could ask for photos, stories, or reflections that you could help send to us?

Please send digital copies of photos, stories, reflections to photos@uuwr.org.

If you know someone we should contact for their help in this project, please email Julia Harris at scotfiddle@aol.com with the contact information.

AND - watch for announcements of a special event at General Assembly!
