The Center for Ethical Living and Social Justice Renewal is founded and grounded in the values of Unitarian Universalism.  This organization has been engaged in praxis experiential relational learning for over a decade and has lots of stories, dreams, and actions to share. 

Unitarian Universalism is a faith that calls us to speak and live on the prophetic edge of what is and what is possible in the co-creation of beloved community.  Religious Educators are powerful catalysts for systems change.  

The Reverend Deanna Vandiver serves as a Co-Director of the Center for Ethical Living and Social Justice Renewal.  The Center’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice through activism, community engagement, and transformational learning. www.celsjr.org In 2012, she was ordained by all three congregations of the Greater New Orleans Unitarian Universalist cluster and serves as a GNOUU Community Minister for the cluster.  www.gnouu.org Rev. Vandiver is grateful for the net that works, the love of friends and family, and to be co-creating a world transformed by the power of equity and compassion.
