Online Courses

Welcome to the Church of the Larger Fellowship's Online Learning Center, an educational facility that provides courses designed to serve a variety of people—from complete newcomers to Unitarian Universalism who want to learn more about our liberal faith to long-time CLF members who are hoping to deepen their spiritual and ethical lives.

We divide our courses into four categories:

• UU Identity
• Theology and Faith Development
• Spiritual Practice
• Ethics and Social Justice

There is no cost for our introductory courses ("A Chosen Faith Study Guide" and "The New UU"). Other classes carry a $40 fee, in order to enable us to bring in experts from beyond the CLF staff. Scholarships are at the discretion of each teacher and are administered by our minister for lifespan learning, Lynn Ungar.

Our Online Learning Center provides a class structure in which teachers are able to post class materials and assignments on the site, and students are able to post their responses, which the software then distributes to teachers and participants. Although some classes may include online chats or larger audio files, most class work takes place in email format, and will work for those with slower internet connections. Generally, classes do not require that participants acquire material other than what is available on the Learning Center, although there are some exceptions which are noted in the class descriptions.

Enter our Online Learning Center. The main page shows a complete listing of courses.

You can click on the blue information icon to the right of each course to find out more about it.

If you'd like to register for a class, simply click on the course name.

If you are not a registered user of the Learning Center you will need to follow the instructions on the right to create a user name and password. Once you've filled in a simple form, an email will be sent to you containing a link confirming your enrollment. Clicking on this link will take you to a page with the information about the class and a button that enables you to pay for the course online safely through Paypal. The "enrollment code" box is only necessary for those who have made alternative payment arrangements (check or scholarship).

If you have questions about courses, would like to apply to teach a course yourself, or just have suggestions of the kind of classes you hope to see in the future, please contact Lynn Ungar. Technical problems with the site may be addressed to Linda Berez.

We hope that you'll find something here to expand your mind and your spirit, as well as an engaging way to connect with UUs around the world. Come on in!
