 The Church of the Larger Fellowship began during World War II, as a way for Unitarian Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines to stay connected to their faith while they were serving overseas. Though Unitarian Universalists may disagree on issues of war and peace, our faith does not disagree on our support of those who serve, those who have served, and their families.
Through our Military Ministry, the CLF provides ways for current servicemembers and their families to develop their Unitarian Universalist faith, as well as ways for currently-serving military-affiliated Unitarian Universalists to connect with military veterans of our faith tradition. In addition to all the resources of CLF membership, we also provide a special connection forum for serving military members, veterans, and their families to connect with and ask questions of Unitarian Universalist ministers and seminarians currently serving as military chaplains and chaplain candidates.
 The CLF, in partnership with our Military Chaplains, also maintains on the website a collection of resources for Military Members and their families, on issues of faith and service. There are also resources that will allow congregations to better serve military members, spouses, and veterans in our communities and in our pews.
 Over time, we will develop courses that explore the intersection of liberal faith and life in the military, and other ways to share our stories together. If you are a servicemember, the spouse of a servicemember, the child or grandchild of someone who has served, or a veteran yourself, you are welcome. If you are a Department of Defense employee or a Defense contractor, you are welcome. If you have a friend whose service in the military is touching your life, you are welcome, and we rejoice in your presence.
