Unitarians are everywhere ...the Khasi Hills in India, mountain villages in Romania and Hungary, and islands in the Philippines.

Many of the churches in these countries have partner churches in the United States and Canada. It's cool to be connected to people halfway around the world.

How connected are you?
On the right are interesting facts about the Khasi Unitarians, Transylvanian Unitarians, and Philippine Unitarian Universalists. Each fact has a number in front of it. The poster below has numbered spaces which go with the numbered facts.

Print many copies and do this with your friends or family. Every picture will be different because every UU is different. That's an important part of what makes us UUs. We come together with all our differences and make a beautiful whole—just like your new poster!

1. Read each fact.
2. Decide if it is the same or different from what you, your church or family believe or do.
3. Mark an "s" next to it if it is the same.
4. Mark a "d" next to it if it is different.
5. On the poster on pages 6-7 find the spaces with the number for each fact on them.
6. Color the spaces red if you mark the fact "s."
7. Color the spaces yellow if you mark the fact "d."
