Campus Unitarian Universalists
Welcome to Gainesville!
Join us on
Wednesday evening for a provocative class or
Sunday for worship.
A note from Meredith:
How’s your
spiritual life? Amidst the stresses and pressures to make grades, find and
maintain relationships, plan and secure your future, and navigate the 4.2
gazillion hassles of life as a student, the college years can be a time of
neglect of spiritual life. Or maybe for the first time in your life you have
religious questions, and yearn for a supportive place where you can explore
those questions.
This thing
called “spirituality”: it might include a concept roughly expressed in
English with the word “God,” or it might not. Either way, we’re talking
about resources you draw on to find peace amidst chaos, to live mindfully in
the present moment, to experience joy in the everyday, to bring awareness to
your own habits of ego defense and see through them, and to know that what
you are – all of what you are – is enough. You are good, and you are loved,
but maybe sometimes you forget. “Spirituality” is a word we use for any of
various ways to help us remember.
I don’t have any
pat answers. But if you need a spiritual life (and I think everyone does),
some friends along the spiritual path, or you’ve got questions you want to
investigate, we’re here for you.
If the Unitarian Universalist tradition, style, or approach doesn’t resonate
with you,, then please look up some of my friends and colleagues in the
Campus Ministry Cooperative
http://www.dso.ufl.edu/multicultural/cmc/ . One way or another, I want every student’s
spiritual life to be as rich as her or his intellectual life.
Blessings,
Meredith
