Quest For Meaning is a ministry of the Church of the Larger Fellowship (CLF), a Unitarian Universalist congregation without walls. Our 3,500 members and friends, over 1,000 of whom are currently incarcerated, live all over the world. We are religious professionals and their families, elders and homebound, nondenominational seekers, and engaged UU lay leaders.  What brings us together is the desire to connect, seek, share, and grow. You are welcome here whether you are a CLF member or not. Take your time, get to know us.

Who We Are

• We believe life is a gift, and  the sacred is to be found in all aspects of life.
• We believe children are born holy and do not need someone else to save their souls. We each are responsible to save our own souls, and because our souls are intertwined with one another, this involves caring for the common good.  Salvation is a collaborative effort.
• We believe faith is not about doctrine or creed, and the Spirit of Life cannot be adequately described by any name—though we use every name and no name.
• We are atheists and Christians, Buddhists and Jews, agnostics and Hindus, who know that no metaphor or story of the holy is big enough to truly hold what is holy. We are people who value diversity: of opinion, of culture, of language, of life experience, of spiritual practice.
• We are people of varied race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, nationality, political orientation, economic status, and temperament.
• We draw meaning from many sources—from science, art, poetry, sacred texts, the world around us, one another, and  our own experiences in life. We are people who value action—acts for justice, acts for equality, acts of kindness, acts of self-care, acts of stewardship of the planet.
• We are people who believe the measure of a life well lived is the love carried in the hearts of those who knew us.

Whatever route has brought you here, and whatever the path you walk with us, we are glad that you are here!
