Merle and Shirley Braley share their UU Story

We have been UUs since 1970. Later, we helped start a UU fellowship in Ohio. When we started our search for a new home, having an active UU congregation nearby was essential. We were surprised and delighted to discover this fellowship Read the full testimonial.

I came to UU with my friend Becky to check it out. I liked the UU acceptance of everyone. UU values and social justice appeal to me. Read the full testimonial.

I joined a Unitarian Universalist club in college in the 1960s when the country was in turmoil over the war in Vietnam. I found there a group of like-minded people who were not content to sit on the sidelines, but wanted to do something about the injustices they witnessed, and so we joined the protest movement. Read the full testimonial.

When people ask me at church when I became a Unitarian Universalist, I reply, “I was ‘born’ a Unitarian”. My parents and grandparents attended the Detroit Unitarian Church in the 1930s and then help found the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church in 1939. Read the full testimonial.

Before UU I didn’t have a compass. Now I have our Seven UU Principles to guide me, and I aspire to live up to them every day, and to become a kinder, softer me. This Fellowship enhances my life. Read the full testimonial.
