Interweave is a membership organization affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association. It is dedicated to the spiritual, political and social well-being of Unitarian Universalists who are lesbians, gay men, bisexual persons, transgender persons and heterosexual allies. It celebrates the culture and lives of its members. Interweave membership is open to all interested UU's of any sexual and affectional orientation.
Part social, part political, part educational, and part religious and spiritual, Interweave accomplishes its mission by addressing a changing array of interests, both inside and outside the congregation, including hosting and co-sponsoring special events, supporting local lobbying and activist organizations.
The Interweave chapter at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Eugene welcomes the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex community and their allies by offering community, support, opportunities for socializing, spirituality, advocacy, education and outreach. It extends beyond but yet incorporates the UUA sponsored educational program “Welcoming Congregation”, which focuses on education around GLBT issues.
Interweave is an active, vibrant organization of the Eugene, OR Unitarian Church (UUCE). We appreciate all members and friends who take the time to provide their input and ideas.
Interweave serves three primary purposes:
* Provides social interaction for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people and allies
* Publicize the church to the greater Eugene Area GLBT community and anyone seeking a liberal religious environment
* Assist UUCE in its goal of being a welcoming congregation and supporting social justice causes.
We are also a part of Interweave Continental, an affiliate of the Unitarian Universalist Association, and a national network of Interweave groups.
Each year, we sponsor a variety of church activities, including a church service, educational forums, UUCE’s participation in the Eugene Pride Celebration and the Eugene Celebration.
“Interweave”--for now the list will be primarily for announcements and perhaps later a more “chat” oriented venue might be created.
