"When we deny there is
consciousness in nature, we also deny consciousness to the worlds we find
by going through nature; and we end with only one world, the world of MacDonald's,
and that one is exploitable."
- Robert Bly, News of the Universe

You can help FUS live the UU Seventh Principle of Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. We enthusiastically welcome new members. We are a Green Sanctuary with the UU Ministry for Earth. We meet every first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. September through May.
In 1994 the UUA passed a Resolution
on Environmental Justice. UUA.org has a webcast
of Van Jone's 2008 Ware Lecture in which he encouraged
more development of green jobs.
