<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Many newcomers come to us with previous experiences in
traditional religions and don’t quite know how to fit into our very different
UU approach to religion. This course is
specifically designed to help those new to Unitarian Universalism understand
just that. Newcomers who have taken this
course tell us it was very helpful. So if you are a newcomer, this is for you. And if you know a newcomer, encourage them to attend.</p>

so you can pick them up if you miss one. But we strongly encourage you to attend all
the sessions you can. The discussions
during the sessions are important to moving from information to understanding.</p>
