Who We Are ...
The Women & Religion (W&R) Committee is proudly associated with the Unitarian Universalist Association.
The Mission of the Women and Religion Committee is to support women in their search for the Inner Feminine Divine, in an atmosphere of connectedness, safety, and joy.
The W&R Committee sponsors a Winter WomanSpirit conference at a different location each year. This event is organized by a "local" committee with the help of the W&R Committee.
The W&R Committee is made up of up to five women, chosen from a wide
geographic area (that represents the area formerly known as the Central Midwest District), for three-year terms. If you would like to help the W&R Committee further our mission of service to women in our region, consider becoming a member. Please send in your application and you will be contacted as soon as possible.
