The Church of the Larger Fellowship is a vessel for change. We are continually evolving and adapting as we learn more about how we can best serve our congregants, parishioners, and faith community as a whole. We allow ourselves to reshape in ways that will make us able to serve the movement of Unitarian Universalism better. From funding innovative ministry to finding new ways to embody the ministerial search process, to increasing the resources we put into our Prison Ministry Network, we continue to build on a foundation of progressive and bold leadership as a model for how Unitarian Universalism can thrive while centering liberation, justice, and love.

As we embarked on this journey of learning and change together, we noticed that Quest, our monthly print publication, was not serving all of our readers as well as it could have. We saw that not all voices were being heard, ministered to, and given the platform to speak to their experience. That’s why you might notice that this issue is different. You will read reflections from our members, see opportunities to respond to thinking prompts, have the chance to interact with activities on the pages, and even vote on important church business. Our vision is to create a monthly publication that adds value to your life and connects you to your church. A magazine that is interactive, relevant, and made by and for the community who reads it.

We are inviting you, the reader, to submit reflections on a range of ideas and topics. Topics you could write about:

• Why do you love the CLF?
• Why are you a Unitarian Universalist?
• How do you put your faith into action?
• What theological and spiritual questions do you grapple with?
• How can we more intentionally minister to and with CLF Worthy Now Prison Ministry members?

Email submissions to editors@clfuu.org or mail them to the Church of the Larger Fellowship; 24 Farnsworth St. Boston, MA 02210.

We know that not everyone can access our online resources. This is especially true for CLF members in prison. We hope that between the pages of Quest Monthly, you find a place that connects you to your Unitarian Universalist faith. Wherever you are, however you are reading this, and whenever you get this, know that it was created with you in mind—the marginalized, the lonely, the left out, the little bit different. Whoever you are, you are welcome here.

We hope you enjoy this inaugural issue of the new Quest Monthly. We made it just for you
