  Standing on the Side of Love Valentines - First UU Brooklyn from Cooper Miller on Vimeo. "On Sunday, Feb 12th, our Senior High Youth led an educational service project with our children, as part of the Standing on the Side of Love campaign. After teaching our children a bit about love, marriage equality, and justice, we made Valentines to send to the NY State representatives who voted to support Marriage Equality. Being a Brooklyn congregation we sent the cards to Brooklyn representatives. We also included Valentines to our Federal Senators, Mayor, Governor, and the four Republicans (state-wide) who made a stand on personal conscious across party lines. Please watch the video here to learn more!" - Rev. Jude Geiger www.fuub.org www.standingonthesideoflove.org www.demonstro.us

We are an embracing and diverse spiritual community who nurture, strengthen, and challenge one another to grow and to have a positive impact on our community and our world.

We are a welcoming congregation, celebrating the lives of all people and their ways of expressing love to each other, and we have a dedicated focus on promoting social justice and equality through our words and actions. We gather in the heart of Brooklyn Heights each Sunday at 11AM to celebrate our shared Unitarian Universalist values while affirming our individual beliefs. Please check out the links on this site to learn more. As a congregation, we covenant to affirm and promote the following seven principles:
  1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
  2. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
  3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
  4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
  5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
  6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
  7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
