Collective Conversation Wall – Stewardship 2007
What hopes and dreams bring you to BUUF?
A beautiful non functioning sanctuary building
A place to grow community in every sense of the word.
A place for comfort and challenge, a liberal voice and force for
action and justice in our reflexively retrograde community
To impact the world
To impact myself
A place to feel comfortable to share what you believe in support
from one another
A welcoming and supportive community where I can explore truth,
understanding, learning to live well and help others to do the same.
To met new people and become more certain about my belief
A green sanctuary with solar panels on the roof
A place to share ideas and grow spiritually
How does BUUF meet your needs as a religious community?
Being with others in every sense of the word
A community who cares
It gives hope for a better world
Renewing my spirit
It meets my religious needs by giving us the opportunity to
choose our belief
BUUF is a place were people can question and where we know
there are many paths to the truth and the divine
I can interact with people and help this place grow
It meets my religious needs by being one of the most extremely
accepting, supportive, and inspirational places I know
Multiple sources of wisdom
By being a place committed to reaching out into to the larger world
By welcoming me and giving me a religious name and supporting
me in my spiritual journey regardless my destination
Everyone is equal
Sunday morning worship services stimulate my thoughts and make me think
about things differently this helps my religious journey
BUUF is basically all about what I believe and so it works

What is your vision for BUUF and how would you contribute to make it a reality?
A beautiful wonderful open air non functional new sanctuary building.
I would help design build and pay for it
It may be 5 years... many bills to pay first
Infrastructure first
My contribution will be as I can, it has a way of slaving one down
A fellowship that attracts the many like minded people in our
community who don't know about uu-ism created by inspiring events and
a significant social change project associated with BUUF I would serve
on any related committees and pledge dollars to the social change
project
To learn to love in many ways
A beautiful sanctuary yes but, I'd also love to see BUUF have a
presence in the inner city perhaps with other religious liberals to do
social justice and liberal religious outreach (urban garden city, linen
district, downtown )
Service in committee teaching
Each UU will thoroughly know the 7 UU principles I emphasis that in
small groups
BUUFis the first of several UU communities in the Treasure Valley
Getting our values out, classes, lectures opens to the public...
participating in other forms
I would work with adult RE
We become a beacon in the community growing in strength size and influence
our members are so inspired to be generous that the new sanctuary becomes
a reality in the near future
BUUF is already a vision
A welcoming community that embraces diversity and intentionally builds
connections with persons of color and different ethnicities, reach out in
some meaningful way in Boise and with immigrants and refuge populations
Perhaps a special project under Adult RE
To see the facility vibrant with use, tell people about us, pledge, participate
An open group of growing individuals our light will be so bright that
others will ask what church we belong to BUUF will expand
Creative, respectful, confident children I will be part of the village
that takes responsibility for their care and education
