What is

Unitarian Universalism?

The short answer is we are a religion without creed or dogma; open to all regardless of race, color, social status, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age or national origin and without requiring adherence to any particular interpretation of religion or to any particular religious belief or creed.

Unitarian-Universalists believe that each person is responsible for his or her own belief. We believe that it is each person's duty to seek to discover what he or she truly believes, to act in accordance with that belief, and to take responsibility for the consequences thereof. We covenant to affirm and promote: _ The inherent worth and dignity of every person; _ Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; _ Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; _ A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; _ The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; _ The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; _ Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

 

Who are we? We are a group of people who share a common need to further both our spiritual and intellectual growth. Although we are not formally affiliated with any nationally recognized religious organization, we embrace the principles and precepts of Unitarian-Universalism. We are a lay-led fellowship, committed to building a community of mutual support Why are we a "fellowship"? We are a liberal religious community Need for free exchange of ideas We choose to govern ourselves with a "consensus decision making" process that asks each member to value and consider eachothers opinions and beliefs as well as to value and express their own.
