Religious Education
Our Theology
Religion for Unitarian Universalist is not unlike other religions in that it asks the fundamental questions of life. How did Time begin? Is there a God? Has life meaning? What is good? Why must we die? However, while most religions-at least in their orthodox varieties- believe they have the answers, Unitarian Universalism is different.
We respect the answers offered by Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and the world's other great faith traditions-we even draw our inspiration and some of our forms of worship from those traditions-but we respect the mystery more. We believe that no single religion (or academic discipline) has a monopoly on wisdom; that the answers to the great religious questions may change from generation to generation; and that the ultimate truth about God and Creation, death, meaning and the human spirit cannot be captured in a narrow statement of faith.
Our Principles
We believe . . .
- That each and every person is important - including ourselves.
- That all people should be treated fairly and kindly.
- That we should accept one another and keep on learning together.
- That each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
- That all persons should have a vote about the things that concern them.
- In working for a peaceful, fair and free world.
- In caring for our planet Earth, the home we share with all living things.
