Worthy Now is the name of the Church of the Larger Fellowship Prison Ministry program, we will explore the ways the CLF works to include and affirm both incarcerated and free world Unitarian Universalists in our ministry and how all UU congregations are a part of this life-affirming interconnected web.

We are a faith that does not espouse a notion of redemption in the afterlife nor in the concept of original sin. We are worthy of love, care and thriving, now, while we are on this earth. We center love, liberation and abolition.
