Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma: Unitarian Universalism in "Second Life": A Virtual Religious Community

Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma

The purpose of this congregation is to provide a haven where members can share in a spiritually, culturally, and socially diverse local religious community. We envision a congregation that will be welcoming to all, that values the contributions of each member in shared ministry, and that actively promotes and models individual development of an ethical way of living. We are intentionally intergenerational, and covenant to provide religious education and spiritual growth for children and adults.

Unitarian Universalism in "Second Life": A Virtual Religious Community

If you've been reading about the virtual world called Second Life, you may be interested to know that it includes a popular and fast-growing Unitarian Universalist congregation, Unitarian Universalists of Second Life. There's an excellent article at the UU World, which includes a sidebar with pointers to related articles, and to Second Life and the congregation itself, which now numbers around 180 members. The congregation meets twice weekly for worship services! I plan to go take a look. If you see me there, say hi: my avatar is named Lefty Link.
