Beginning
The First Unitarian Church in New Bedford is in the beginning stages of reforming a CUUPS Chapter, until then, we will be called Pagans of New Bedford.
​
What is CUUPS?
The Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) is an organization dedicated to networking Pagan-identified Unitarian Universalists (UUs), educating people about Paganism, promoting interfaith dialogue, developing Pagan liturgies and theologies, and supporting Pagan-identified UU religious professionals.
​
The Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) was chartered by the Unitarian Universalist Association at the General Assembly in 1987 for the purposes of enabling:
-
Networking among Pagan Identified UUs; providing outreach of Unitarian Universalism to the broader Pagan community continentally.
-
Providing educational materials on Paganism for Unitarian Universalist congregations and the general public.
-
Promoting Pagan - Jewish & Christian dialogue; encouraging the development of theo/alogical and liturgical materials based on earth and nature-centered religious and spiritual perspectives.
-
Encouraging greater use of music, dance, visual arts, poetry, story, and creative ritual in Unitarian Universalist worship and celebration.
-
Providing support for Pagan-identified UU religious professionals and ministerial students; and fostering healing relationships with our mother the Earth and all her children.
