Green Sanctuary

Green Sanctuary LogoA Green Sanctuary is a congregation that

  • has received official recognition for completing the Unitarian Universalist Association's Green Ganctuary Program;
  • lives out its commitment to the Earth by creating sustainable lifestyles for its members as individuals and as a faith community;
  • is committed towards creating a religious community that has a fundamental, bottom-line, commitment to living in harmony with the Earth.

The UUA's Green Sanctuary Program

  • provides the framework for congregations to begin specific projects and activities that lead to recognition as a Green Sanctuary through candidacy and then accreditation;
  • invites congregations to embark on an exploration of what it means to live today within a religious community on an imperiled Earth; and
  • is a way for all Unitarian Universalists to join our efforts, both symbolically and explicitly, in becoming stewards of the Earth.
