Welcome to the Unitarian Congregation of Guelph

The Unitarian Congregation of Guelph welcomes you, whoever you are, whatever your religious beliefs, abilities, ethnicities and sexual orientation.

We are an inclusive community, cultivating diversity, who come together to explore important life questions, support each other in living with purpose and meaning, and work toward peace and justice.

We are not bound by a set creed or dogma, but guided by Unitarian Universalist Principles and Sources.

We have been recognized as a Welcoming Congregation.

So if you are searching for a spiritual community where there is freedom of religious thought, spiritual growth, hope and inspiration, welcome!

Territorial Acknowledgement

We acknowledge we are on the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of New Credit First Nation of the Anishinaabe peoples. During our region’s rich indigenous history, these lands have been home to the Chonnonton peoples (or Attawandaron), the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe and the Métis. We express gratitude for the sharing of these lands. We also acknowledge the tragic history between first peoples and newcomers. We strive to be accountable by acknowledging this history and cultivating respect in our relationships with indigenous peoples and the land.

Living in Spirit: Who do We Choose to BE for These Times?

Diana Smith
Online: This will be a virtual offering
Now, more than ever, it’s an increasingly complex, changing and uncertain world. How do we experience our ‘spiritual sensibilities’, the felt connection to something bigger and beyond ourselves, the sense of being part of a larger whole in our daily lives, our choices, our actions? What are the opportunities for transformation? What emerging capacities and perspectives on consciousness ground and guide us? Diana Smith will share ideas, stories and learning from three years of inquiry exploring the ‘new’ spirituality for the 21^st century.
