- CUUPs (Covenant of Unitarian Univeralist Pagans) is a loose affiliation
- of Wiccan and other pagan groups within the UU church. There is a national
- organization which publishes a (theoretically quarterly) newsletter, and
- individual chapters associated with various UU congregations. (There
- are other congregations who will pretend they've never heard of CUUPs...
- UU churches vary a good deal.)
-
- The chapters I know of firsthand function as open worship circles,
- sponsoring public full moon and Sabbat rituals, plus some workshops and
- discussion groups. The chapter I belong to also gives one church
- service per year at the UU church (at Lammas). Our 'tradition' is an
- eclectic Wicca with borrowings from everything that doesn't run away
- quickly enough.
-
- CUUPs doesn't require that you be UU, only that you be able to get along
- with Unitarians (only a problem if organized religion of any kind gives
- you the heebie-jeebies). It's a good place for a newcomer to get a
- taste of the Craft and meet people in the pagan community.
