The Unitarian Universalist
Association (UUA)
The UUA is our parent organization. This section will introduce
you to information that will help you learn more about them. We are
associated with the UUA in order to be part of that global network of UUs,
and to gain access to their vast amount of resources (such as the Church
of the Larger Fellowship, or CLF) to assist us with completing our HUC Mission,
Vision, & Values.

The CLF was founded in May of 1944 to better serve "isolated religious liberals
wherever they might live." Our membership to this service assists the
HUC by providing extensive resources in the form of publications, a lending
library, tools for implementing lay led services, and many other benefits.

Yahoo! Groups hosts an index of "
Unitarian-Universalism Groups
". Judge for yourself if they are worth the time. Most groups
have public archives so you can get a feel for the content before
you join. Every group home page also has a chart that displays the
monthly activity for the group.
Here are two examples:
Yahoo! Groups - For
Newcomers

note:
Yahoo! Groups is a web based BBS (Bulletin Board System) that is similar
to Usenet
. You can subscribe yourself to e-mail lists for various SIGs (Special
Interest Groups). Most of the UU lists at Yahoo! Groups (including
the HUC BBS groups) are not sponsored by the UUA!
