An Ann Arbor Tradition Since 1865
The First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor (UUAA) has played significant roles in the evolution of liberal religious thought through the 19th and 20th centuries. We have long been deeply engaged with social justice and political issues defined by the times, from supporting the underground railroad in the late 1800’s, to providing meeting space to labor unions in the 30s, to anti-war activism in the 60s, through longtime support for LGBT issues. Our “Vision 2050” now focuses on anti-racism and climate/ environmental issues.
Listen to our Senior Minister Rev. Manish Mishra-Marzetti discuss our congregation’s history.
