UUs believe in a fluid faith, that we must embrace change and growth and not etch our answers in stone. UUism is unique because we value the beliefs and shared hunanity of all people and because we believe we do not have the once-and-for-all answers.

We must respond to the real demands of our world; we must respond to the imminent threats to ourselves and our neighbors. We must become the change we want to see in the world.

Alec Peck (he/him) has been a practicing UU for 26 years, with a deep passion for the intellectual and spiritual challenges of the sources of our living tradition. He was raised in a UU church, chosen by his father, raised Quaker, and mother, raised Jewish (though both Humanist in practice). Alec recently spent two years studying natural science at Creighton University, a Jesuit institution and is now completing his Ph.D. at UC Riverside in experimental cosmology.
