\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

BRUU is …<\/h2>\n

… a safe community for seeking & service<\/p>\n

… an intellectually engaged congregation. Reason, far from being anti-religious, is one of the many tools we have for navigating the often rocky terrain of ethical decision making.<\/p>\n

… a spiritually nourishing congregation. In our worship and devotional life, in our joyful singing and our times of contemplation, we deepen our connection to that which gives our lives meaning.<\/p>\n

… a justice-centered congregation. It is how we live out our beliefs that matters most. Our members strive to express their values through concrete action in the world.<\/p>\n

… a warmly welcoming congregation. Every visitor, friend, and member contributes to our community life.<\/p>\n
