Whoever you are, whatever you believe, whatever your skin color, whomever you love, whatever your gifts and abilities, we welcome you at our Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Our bylaws include the following statement:
This congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of persons in all our activities and endeavors; including membership, programming, hiring practices, and the calling of religious professionals; without regard to race, color, gender, physical or mental challenge, affectional or sexual orientation, age, class, or national origin.
In accord with Unitarian Universalist principles and in keeping with our congregation's mission statement, our fellowship voted on May 19, 2002, to declare ourselves to be a Welcoming Congregation and to commit to continuing to take appropriate steps to live up to that designation. We are the first congregation in Arkansas to be officially recognized as a Welcoming Congregation by the Unitarian Universalist Association.
A Welcoming Congregation is a religious community that welcomes and accepts people who are bisexual, gay, lesbian, or transgender; that strives to be a safe and affirming environment for those among us who are bisexual, gay, lesbian, or transgender; that ensures all areas of congregational life are open and inclusive; and that commits itself to work for the rights and dignity of bisexual, gay, lesbian, or transgender people in the larger community.
