Description
Unitarian Universalism is an ethically based religion, which means it focuses upon how one lives in the world. Spiritual values such as love, understanding, compassion, justice, trust in life, in humanity and in the possibility of goodness inform and shape our ethical principles. Such a religion looks to character and ethics as holding the greatest importance in life. This is different in that many faiths are creedally based, which means that belief in a certain doctrine and creed is of uppermost importance. Unitarian Universalism has no one belief or doctrine that members must hold to. Indeed, Unitarian Universalists; claim the freedom, the right and the responsibility to form their own faith structures and beliefs. This is not to say that Unitarian Universalists have no beliefs. Not at all. We have many ways of believing: some believe in God and/or Goddess, some look to Jesus, or Buddha, or keep their Jewish tradition, or look for truth and meaning in the laws of science, or find inspiration in nature or in the lives of prophetic men and women. Unitarian Universalism has a pluralistic world view. We accept and celebrate diversity of belief and in our communities we fashion ways for different people to co-exist in peace and harmony. What is most important to us is the way people expresstheir beliefs in the ethical living of their lives.
Unitarian Universalists take as their ethical guidelines the Statement of Principles and Purposes, which was created in the mid-1980's and accepted by the General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association. They affirm and promote the following:
- Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
