As part of our faith’s commitment to supporting chaplaincy, we have established an additional track for Unitarian Universalists whose primary interest is chaplaincy, and who do not currently desire to become an ordained and fellowshipped minister, to seek a Faith Endorsement. Our goal is to provide an accountable and accessible process for Unitarian Universalists to pursue a chaplaincy career. The UUA and UUSCM began to envision this new process in 2017 and we have been through a comprehensive study and development process. The UUSCM Faith Endorsement is a focused assessment of Unitarian Universalists seeking endorsement for BCCi certification. Applicants for UUSCM Faith Endorsement must complete and submit a series of requirements that demonstrate their active engagement with the UU faith, awareness and knowledge of UU values and identity, and a commitment to live into those values as a BCCi chaplain. If you, or someone you know is interested in the UUSCM Faith Endorsement, please visit our website at https://uuscm.org/Endorsement/ or contact Inanna Arthen, UUSCM Administrator at uuscministry@gmail.com for the latest Faith Endorsement information.
