Welcome
Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palisades. Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs or cultural background, you are welcome here. Unitarian Universalists believe in a free and responsible search for meaning. We seek to learn from the wisdom within all of the world’s religions, as well as from the loving source that lives within each of us. For some, that loving source is humanity. Others place faith in a higher power. As a Welcoming Congregation, lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, and transgendered people are all encouraged to full participation. We are an anti-racist congregation, working towards justice, through service and love.

Rev. Paul Dodenhoff was raised in an evangelical Christian family, but became interested
in other religious paths early in his teens. His own journey led him to study and work
within a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions. While his personal practice is
Shin Buddhism, he makes his spiritual home in Unitarian Universalism. Paul is especially
interested in exploring the intersection of inter-spirituality, social justice, and social media.
