What is the religion Unitarian Universalist?

Answer

Unitarians do not have a specific religion, or any specific dogmas or doctrines; they value the open search for truth. Members may follow or espouse specific creeds; however, at services humanism is generally the primary philosophy.

Unitarian Universalists believe in 7 basic principles and try to live their lives in a manner consistent with these principles:

*The inherent worth and dignity of every human being

*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

Those interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism should visit the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations website (www.uua.org).

In short, UUism is not TELLING you what to believe, but ASKING you what YOU believe. :)
