Administration
The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is governed by its membership
through congregational meetings and an elected Board of Trustees.
Its purposes and program are determined by the members. Our congregation
chooses its own minister. Although we recognize no hierarchical
church authority, like other Unitarian Universalist churches we
cooperate with other parts of the denomination through our membership
in the Canadian Unitarian Council.
Church committees conduct such activities as church school, fellowship,
social action, adult education programs and many others. Our chief
goal as a religious institution is to help individuals and the community
develop a philosophy, an outlook and attitudes which give meaning,
dignity and richness to life. To this end we have developed a broad
program of activities.
Annual Congregational Meeting May 3, 2009
RECENT MEETINGS
Long-Range Planning Committee
Creative energy, collective sweat equity, and community loving
care created a wonderful new home for us. On May 1st of 2005,
our “grand opening” day, Rev. Frances Deverell asked,
“To what will you dedicate this building? For what purpose
have you gone to all this work and created this sacred space?
What will its ministry be in the wider community of Edmonton,
Alberta? How will this building be of service to our shared purposes
and principles?” Now is the time to answer these questions.
It’s time to create our vision for what we, as a community,
want to be. It’s time to focus our energies. It’s
time to look around, look within, and look forward. For more information,
