What is Unitarian Universalism ? Some History...
|
With roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition, our denomination was formed in 1961 with the merging of the Unitarian and Universalist faiths. Both Unitarianism and Universalism have vibrant histories, with each encouraging freedom of belief, an expectation of social consciousness, and liberal religious values. While our religion encourages members to develop their own religious belief system, we look to the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism to guide us not only in how we worship, but in how we participate in our lives.
As a result, Unitarian Universalists consistently raise their voices for social justice, human rights, and environmental care. We typically relish asking questions, exploring potential, and appreciating both the beautiful and intellectual aspects of humanity and nature.
