Unitarian Universalism Is a Really Long Name
Jennifer Dant
Illustrated by Anne Carter
Asking questions and looking for answers are important to Unitarian Universalists. We believe that no one is ever finished learning. Our faith keeps growing and changing like all living things. That’s why we call our faith the living tradition. Let’s go exploring and find some answers to your questions together!
This one-of-a-kind picture book is a colorful introduction to Unitarian Universalism for children. Richly depicting congregational life—from a chalice lighting to a fundraising walk-a-thon, the simple language and lively illustrations offer children accessible answers to commonly asked questions such as "Who Are We?," "What Do We Believe?," "Do We Pray?" and "How Do We Celebrate?" Perfect for families, RE teachers and children new to our faith. For ages five to nine.
Jennifer Dant has taught religious education to all ages, and is the mother of three children. She is director of religious e ducation at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Naples, FL.
