First Parish Church School is guided by our fourth principle, "a
free and responsible search for truth." We believe our Bible Themes
and World Religions curricula teach children to:
- honor and respect the world's sacred spiritual texts
and
- learn from them to respect the mystery of existence
- learn from other's beliefs so that they can explore
their own feelings about life, truth and meaning.
We believe our Ecology curricula promote respect for
the inter-dependent web of life (our seventh principle). We believe the
units on "UU Identity" and "What It Means To Be A UU"
bring everything together and make our children proud to be Unitarian
Universalists.
Our Church School Social Justice Projects, done throughout
the year, follow our first and second principles. We fight world poverty
and hunger by raising money for Heifer Project International and UNICEF.
We help Boston area mothers and children by donating to Renewal House
shelter. We serve meals at Father Bill's, a homeless shelter in Quincy. |
