About Our Congregation | Joy, Possibility, and Hope
Since 1954, UUCY has strived to offer a religious experience based on freedom, reason, tolerance, and compassion. This is an on-going process filled with reverence and responsibility to individuals and community in the spirit of love. This process continually brings with it a new hope for the future. During the intervening years, although we have changed our name, changed our physical surroundings, and added new members, the founding principles of this congregation continue to endure, offering hope and support to those on their own religious spiritual journey.
Our Recent Religious Educator Interim History
In March 2013, UUCY negotiated a termination with its settled Director of Religious Education. A period of significant turmoil ensued. This crisis revealed a larger issue--the failure to make the transition from a pastoral size to program size congregation. Beginning in May 2013 and continuing thereafter, UUCY engaged healthy congregation consultants, introduced many skillful initiatives, and committed to a two-year period of interim religious education leadership. UUCY is re-emerging as a place of joy, possibility, and hope and is ready to engage a religious educator that can thrive and prosper in the positive atmosphere of this Special Place.
