Virtual Villages
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
In response to the prolonged virtual status of the church community, the UU Amherst staff, Connections and Caring Teams worked together to create ‘virtual villages’ that connect members and friends of UU Amherst according to geographic proximity as well as already established personal connections. These have coalesced into 3 online chat groups that continue to meet on a regular basis via zoom.
The idea is to find ways to interact, even when we must practice physical distancing from one another. It is one of the tenets of Unitarian Universalism that each individual is beloved and worthy of care and belonging–and these virtual villages help us practice this affirmation.
