"The Garden of Unitarian-Universalism"
A Curriculum Workbook by Melinda Sayavedra & Marilyn Walker

Acknowledgments: This project is funded in part by the Fund for Unitarian Universalism.

"The Garden of Unitarian-Universalism" was written to help Unitarians and Universalists everywhere gain a broader and deeper understanding of our shared faith.

In designing this workbook, we tried to consider many ways, settings and timeframes in which it could be used, including

It is important to first read the Overview in order to understand how the curriculum is set up and how it can be used.

There are 16 units (subject to change) in this curriculum. The units are presented roughly in order of each tradition¹s founding. Each unit was written to stand independently and may be studied in any order; however, we strongly recommend that all groups begin with Unit 1: The Garden of Unitarian-Universalism to get an overview of the ICUU and end with Unit 16: Tending the Garden for closure. Each unit includes its own Small Group Worship Order of Service for use in small group ministry.

"The Garden of Unitarian-Universalism" may not be published or used in any sort of profit-making manner. It is solely for the use of individuals and congregations to learn about international Unitarians and Universalists. Copies of the material may be made for educational use or for use in worship.

Every effort has been made to properly acknowledge and reference sources and to trace owners of copyrighted material. We regret any omission and will, upon written notice, make the necessary correction(s) in subsequent editions.
