About Us -- Our Congregation
| |
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a place where I
have always felt free to be me. There is a great deal of openness,
and compassion, appreciation and respect for others.

A community of people willing to listen to each other and
have some fun along the way to a socially just/spiritually tolerant
world.

I see the UU Congregation of Binghamton as warm, caring, supportive,
socially conscious, and intellectually curious.

My wife and I who come from different religious backgrounds
were looking for a place where our children would learn to respect
and affirm the difference among people. We have made wonderful
friends, have shared the joys of life and have been comforted
during the difficult times. We have found a place where our entire
family has learned that the questions about life, death and the
world's mysteries are far more important than the answers. We
have found a religious home where the religious leader (our minister)
challenges, inspires, motivates, questions and leads - but does
not dictate what we must believe in.

UUCB exemplifies what I am seeking in community:
Diversity, social responsibility, caring community, and wonderful
friends.

Day and Night:
Sunday morning worship; with our minister in the pulpit, the
Sun shining down through the windows, and Branwen whispering
in my ear.
Full moon night; singing and dancing, trancing with the God/desses.

Sundays at U.U. are a balance of just enough the same to feel
like home and always a different special message--through wonderful
music, inspirational readings and sermon, and the personal offerings
of a true blend of interesting people open to sharing their spirit.
