What Is Unitarian Universalism?
|
With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a forward-looking religion -- that is, a religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves. We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed. Our congregations are self-governing. Authority and responsibility are vested in the membership
of the congregation. Each Unitarian Universalist congregation is involved in many kinds of programs. Worship is
held regularly, the insights of the past and the present are shared with those who will create the future, service
to the community is undertaken, and friendships are made. |
