We are Unitarian Universalists

We are Unitarian Universalists

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.

Becoming a Member

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.

Journeys: The Many Paths to Unitarian Universalism

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

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."

Nosotros 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 TEXT»

Worship in Unitarian Universalist Congregations

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. FULL TEXT»
