Description

What is the Basic Unitarian Universalist Principle?

It is freedom of belief. Unlike most other religious movements, Unitarian Universalism does not require assent to any creed or statement of belief. Instead, it does something significantly different: It maintains that each person has an obligation to seek truth, as best they understand, and to follow that truth wherever it may lead them. For the free conceives of truth, not as a fixed and final thing, but as an ever-growing and evolving reality which can lead humankind to increasingly higher levels of thought and action.

A widely used statement declares: Unitarian Universalist churches are dedicated to human betterment "through religion, in accordance with the advancing knowledge and the growing vision of humankind. Bound by this common purpose and committed to freedom of belief, we hold in unity of spirit a diversity of convictions."

This cut-metal sculpture, created by Edward J. Kimball, displays seven religious symbols of different faiths from all over the world. It is composed of 14 panels in all, and each panel implies a door-like rectangle. These rectangles are unified by an array of cutouts, forming each symbol. The symbols bridge one panel into the next in a succession of images invoking a call for religious space and unity in a diverse world of religious outlook.
