Many Unitarians and Universalists
are active in social justice issues either
individually or as a congregation. Some congregations
vote on an “issue of the year”.
The CUC and its
congregations are active in many ways.
Read what some Unitarian Universalists say about why
we get involved in social responsibility issues
Act Local – Think
National!
We encourage congregations to
consider CUC resolutions when planning their
strategies around social change. Adding reference to a
national resolution or action in your local events can
encourage support and interest in your endeavours.
Important Dates
Linking social responsibility
actions and events to significant dates can help you
increase awareness of the issue; link with other
organizations and even get media coverage. To find out
more of how our congregations or the CUC honour these
important dates or to suggest an addition, send email
to
info@cuc.ca.
Congregational
Manual
Finding Common Voice is a manual
for congregations which, among other things, provides
outlines for meetings; sample policies and networking
suggestions.
Refugee Sponsorship
Several of our congregations have been involved in
refugee sponsorship either directly under the CUC’s
Sponsorship Agreement Holder or with a group of other
religious organizations. Working under the CUC’s
agreement with Citizenship and Immigration Canada can
enables our congregations to more easily move through
the steps necessary to sponsor refugees.
Sanctuary
Several Canadian congregations have offered sanctuary.
CUC has publicly supported religious groups’ right to
provide sanctuary.
