First Unitarian shares their campus with the ABQ Center for Spiritual Living and Minara Muslim Community. It is a joy to host both groups on our campus as renters and as partners in the work of love and justice. UUs are invited to services and activities of AbqCSL and Minara—and we welcome them into the UU community as well. To see their combined event calendar, you can visit their website: https://www.abqcsl.org
With the goal of deepening our interfaith partnerships, a covenant between our three faith communities begins, “Our congregations are distinct, yet share values of love, justice, and diversity. We recognize and affirm our mutual commitment to creating a world that works for all and acknowledge the need for a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort in creating the world we know is possible—a world of peace, unity, and human dignity for all.” You can find the whole covenant here.

Our three religious communities began sharing a campus in 2023, and we teamed up in 2023 an 2024 to bring everyone together for a celebratory, multigenerational Christmas Eve! Thank you to late member Roger Harmon for the wonderful photos of a beautiful celebration of light and love.
