We are Unitarian Universalists
by Marta Flanagan

What We Believe
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion born of the Jewish and Christian
traditions. We keep our minds open 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. In the end religious authority lies
not in a book, person, or institution, but in ourselves. We put religious
insights to the test of our hearts and minds. FULL

Becoming a Member
by Polly Laughland Guild
Purchase
Here!
The simple act of signing your name in the membership
book can be a deeply significant decision. Becoming a member not only
enables you to participate in congregational votes but can also express
a personal commitment to participate in sharing your talents, your resources,
and your energy with others in a quest that is spiritual as well as practical,
personal as well as social, individual as well as institutional. Unitarian
Universalism challenges you to consider how your beliefs about human nature,
evolution, and divine revelation affect your attitude toward yourself
and others, and how those beliefs influence what you do. FULL

Journeys: The Many Paths to Unitarian Universalism
edited by Edwin C. Lynn
Purchase
Here!
Every individual is on a religious journey. For some,
the journey is an exciting adventure, for others it is barely acknowledged
as a part of their existence. As Unitarian Universalists we help each
other give expression to our journeys and to become more aware of our
beliefs. Unitarian Universalist minister David Parke writes, "Unitarian
Universalism's greatest strength lies in its conviction that the journey
of the human spirit is one that each person must make for her- or himself.
The range of liberal religious experience is limited only by the seemingly
infinite variety of human characteristics." FULL TEXT»

 | Meet the Unitarian Universalists
by Jack Mendelsohn
Purchase
Here!
There's an old anecdote about some of us of liberal persuasion
coming to a fork in the road. On one sign are the words, "To Heaven."
On the other, "To a Discussion about Heaven." Without hesitation, the
Unitarian Universalists choose their course. They wouldn't think of missing
a discussion! FULL TEXT» |

Somos Unitarios Universalistas (We Are, Spanish Edition)
translated by Jaume de Marcos Nacio

CREEMOS
El Universalismo Unitario es una religión liberal nacida de las
tradiciones cristiana y judía. Mantenemos nuestra mente abierta a las
cuestiones religiosas fundamentales de todos los tiempos y todos los lugares.
Creemos que, en la religión, las autorida-des últimas son
las experiencias personales, la conciencia y la razón. Al fin y
al cabo, la autoridad religiosa no reside en un libro, o en una persona,
o en una institución, sino en nosotros mismos. Ponemos los razonamientos
religiosos a prueba en nuestros corazones y nuestras mentes. FULL

 | Worship in Unitarian Universalist Congregations
by Mark Belletini
Purchase
Here!
Unitarian Universalists worship in a variety of settings-from
a Gothic nave to a large living room, from a nineteenth-century meeting
house to a rented school auditorium. It stands to reason then that no
one style of worship has universal appeal among us. Some worship services
are formal, with a sense of decorum and a devotional atmosphere. Other
services are marked by applause, a pulpit-pew dialogue, and familiar banter.
