Wildflower UU: The Story of Us

Our story is special. Our story has meaning and purpose. Our story is being written every day by amazing people.

People like you.

Chapter One: Justice

Justice is the quality of being just, impartial, or fair. We believe that everyone’s voice is important, and everyone should have a seat at the table. Empowering people to step up and engage in their civic duty is one way that Wildflowers can help.

Chapter Two: Equity

The term “equity” refers to fairness and justice and is distinguished from equality: Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances.

Chapter Three: Transformation

A transformation is complete change in the appearance or character of something or someone, especially so that that thing or person is improved.

We seek to improve ourselves and others. We seek growth by expanding our minds and staying open and welcoming to the universe around us.

Chapter Four: Pluralism

Pluralism is the idea that a community’s diversity allows for the peaceful coexistence of different interests, beliefs, and lifestyles.

Wildflower believes that our differences are what make us amazing. We come from various backgrounds, but we unite through our shared values.

Chapter Five: Interdependence

We practice interdependence by relying on one another. We make ourselves available during the good and the bad, supporting one another and offering ourselves to be improved by others.

Chapter Six: Generosity

We are kind, unselfish, and willing to give help or support.

Chapter Seven: Love

Affection. Care. Devotion. Love.
