Come gather in loving community with us.

We are a compassionate, thoughtful, and diverse religious community who nurture and challenge each other to deeper understanding, meaning and purpose in our lives. We use our hearts and our heads to make a difference not only in our lives, but the lives of those beyond our doors.

Our newly adopted covenant

We, the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo,
beginning with ourselves as we are, covenant together in love to

Celebrate and find joy in our diversity,
Honor our history and heritage while staying open to the future,
Be generous with our time and our treasure,
Strive for truth and justice within and beyond our congregation,
Relate to all who come here with kindness, respect and compassion,
Learn from one another, and
Honor the sacred in all its expressions.

When we fail, we will acknowledge our shortcomings,
make amends as we can, give and seek forgiveness,
and move forward again in love and community.

Upcoming Services

November 8: Grief as Protest
by Rev. Bethany Russell-Lowe

In The Wild Edge of Sorrow, psychologist Francis Weller writes about grief as protest. Weller contends that grief is subversive to Western culture and a rejection of numbness; grief is wild and a demonstration of aliveness. This service will explore what the act of grieving is a protest against. And can we grieve more fully, feel our grief -- which is our sadness, and our despair, and our anger -- so that we might become more whole and more connected to each other and creation?
