Site Guide

This guide brings together ideas, learning materials, and participation options from across the UUJAZ site. Begin with a public issue, a question about congregational practice, or a practical way to join a community conversation. Each section points toward related reading so that a first visit can lead to a useful next step.

The site is designed for people with different levels of experience. You do not need to know policy language or have a campaign plan before you begin. Start with a topic that matters to your community, look for the local context, and learn from organizations and neighbors already close to the work.

How to use this guide

Issue pages help build shared understanding; action pages describe ways to participate; resource pages offer adaptable formats for congregations. Gatherings and stories provide examples that may help a group plan its own learning. The sections below are grouped by purpose, while related links on each page connect nearby ideas.

Some public procedures, schedules, and source materials change over time. When a page points toward a current decision, confirm details with the responsible public body or a qualified local organization. These resources offer a starting point for learning and connection; local partners can help determine what is appropriate in a particular place.

UUJAZ serves as a bridge among Arizona faith communities and their neighbors. A useful visit may end with a question to bring to a study circle, an invitation to a partner, or one small step that makes future participation easier. Choose the section that matches your question and return whenever the work gives you a new one.
