Doubling concerns, according to its last census in 2020, UU membership was at its lowest in twenty-three years. Despite the country’s population increasing seventy-five percent, UU’s membership is nineteen percent smaller than when it was formed in 1961 and has shrunk since introducing radical anti-racism initiatives starting in the last twenty-five years.

Where have all the UUs gone? The denomination is shrinking despite so much that it has to offer the world.
UU got distracted by a social justice agenda rather than its true mission which is to facilitate the growth of spiritual intelligence. UU needs to enter into a time of renewal to rethink its mission and where best to invest its knowledge, skills, and values.
