About Unitarian Universalism
- What is Unitarian Universalism
- We are a faith with historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, who seek insights from all sources of knowledge, including all of the world's religions.
- Unitarian Universalism is a liberal 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, but in ourselves.
- We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed.
- However, we do strongly affirm and promote seven ethical statements that constitute our Unitarian Universalist Principles.
- The religion of Thomas Jefferson - "Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one." Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
