The Reverend Catharine Harris was the first full-time Minister of our Fellowship, serving our congregation from 1993 until she retired in 2006. Prior to that, she had been the minister of the UU Church of Cheyenne, where she was ordained in 1986, the first UU minister to serve a congregation in Wyoming. During her ministry at the Fellowship, the congregation purchased their first building and moved from a rented facility in Boulder to the present location in Lafayette.

Today, Rev. Harris is retired from active ministry. She is the first Minister Emerita at the Fellowship, a title she was bestowed after her retirement. She now is a valued member of our congregation. Rev. Harris loves to read, especially on topics related to US political issues and world politics. She also enjoys walking every day in open space near her home in Boulder, where she can pursue her love of bird watching. She and her husband, Dick Harris, have one daughter, Julia.

Bellamy Bodiford recently moved to the Denver area from metro-Atlanta. He studied Psychology and Writing at Kennesaw State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. He has edited and written for various magazines and online publications.

In his spare time, Bellamy creates art with a special interest in embroidery. He also enjoys video games and spending time with his partner.

Bellamy became invested in UU during the COVID-19 pandemic. He found a local UU (Emerson Unitarian Universalist Congregation) and started attending online until the congregation was cleared to come back in person. Bellamy grew fond of the community and soon became a known face to everyone.

Vision: BVUUF will be a  culturally informed space where all community members know they belong and are welcomed in order to obtain support, fellowship, and resources. BVUUF will be part of a county wide coalition of groups that advocate for justice for all immigrants in our community and beyond.

We strive to include and deeply affirm LGBTQIA2S+ people at every level of congregational life — as ministers, lay leaders, friends, teachers, and colleagues — welcoming and accepting everyone as we are. LGBTQIA2S+ meanings are  L=Lesbian, G=Gay, B=Bisexual, T=Transgender, Q=Queer, I=Intersex, A=Asexual, 2S=Two Spirit, +=Other Identities

We are committed to the following, as a UUA-designated Welcoming Congregation:

• incorporate an understanding of the experience and history of LGBTQIA2S+ people throughout all of our programs, including religious education.
• affirm consensual caring and affection without regard for sexual orientation.
• support marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.
• promote justice, freedom and equality, and speak out when the rights and dignity of LGBTQIA2S+ people are at stake.

Our fellowship often has meetings specifically for people who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, as well as some groups and events that are open to allies as well. 

Our Queer Friendly Congregation Team is open to everyone, and regularly participates in activism, Pride, educational events, and helps lead Sunday worship services for Coming Out Day. Check the BVUUF calendar for upcoming events! You are invited to join the Queer Friendly Congregation Team. For more information, email queer@bvuuf.org.

There is always more to learn and do to protect and support queer folx, and BVUUF strives to be a safe and supportive spiritual home for all people. Here is the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Welcoming Congregation website which features dozens of resources for enriching LGBTQIA2S+ lives and spirit. It notes, “Being recognized as a Welcoming Congregation is just the beginning, and is a commitment to the ever-ongoing work of being welcoming.”
