SOCIAL ACTION

Unitarian Universalists are called to be actively engaged in the world and to work for social justice. Our work is grounded in our seven principles that draw on many spiritual traditions and require us to put our faith into action. We are asked to expand our place in the world to include those who are hungry, who seek justice, who are struggling in the grip of poverty or environmental degradation. Irrespective of how we each identify ourselves theologically, Unitarian Universalism compels us to be alive to the world and take seriously our responsibility to seek and uphold justice. The First Parish community supports and encourages different calls to action and the myriad ways to work for justice, close to home and around the world. We understand that faith in action is a spiritual journey and we honor those who come to FPC-Stow and Acton for inspiration, support, clarity of vision and action.

The Social Action Committee at the First Parish Church honors our Unitarian Universalist principles by empowering one another and the church community as a whole to work for social justice.
