The Church of the Larger Fellowship is a congregation of religious liberals and other individuals who live throughout the world. The CLF functions as a “virtual church or fellowship” providing congregational services and resources primarily to religious liberals who live in isolated parts of the world or in communities where no established religious liberal group exists. In addition to coordinating a world community of religious liberals, this site offers a wealth of UU resources for worship services, religious education and study, children’s programming and social action.

Sea of Faith in Australia (SoFiA)

http://www.sof-in-australia.org/

SoFiA is a network of Australians who are seeking a radical reappraisal of past religious traditions in order to meet today’s spiritual challenges. The network affirms the continuing importance of religious thought and practice, but sees religion as a field of creative human endeavour which must be ever-changing to remain relevant. There are also Sea of Faith groups in New Zealand and the UK – links to their sites can be found on the Australian SoFiA page.

Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA)

www.uua.org

The UUA is an organization primarily made up of Unitarian Universalist churches and fellowships in the United States. This site is the most comprehensive UU information site on the Internet today. Keeping in mind that the UUA site records the American perspective, it is a good place to start – most things you want to know and more! Of particular use are their sections on history, worship resources, religious education, social action and world events. This is an extremely large site so we recommend you check out the site map (think “tip of the iceberg”) before plunging in.
