Search the Web. Type it and go! A Chosen Faith : An Introduction to Unitarian Universalism Forrest Church The Foreword by Robert Fulghum is fantastic. Check it out if you want a quick and dirty look at the " religion " frequently called UUism. I was disappointed with parts of the remaining text however. The two main authors' beliefs and writing styles are too similar for a book written as an introduction to a very diverse religion. Even though they alternate in writing the chapters, I couldn't tell which one was writing unless I flipped back to the first page of the chapter. For a book like this, one of the authors should have been a "West Coast Unitarian Universalist"someone less interested in God, the Bible, etc. and more interested in "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning". I'm not trying to indicate that the authors are Bible literaliststhey certainly aren't. But they seem to think that UUism is in many ways "liberal Christianity" and I haven't found that to be the case in my local fellowship. Probably more than any other group of "religious people", Unitarian Universalists differ in beliefs both at the individual and congregational level. While the authors summed up their own beliefs (and perhaps those of their congregations) well, they barely touched on those of many UUs. In fact, they criticized UUs who would fall in the atheist/agnostic/skeptical group.

I'm also going to devote this page to other similar essays. If you know of any on the internet, or if you have any that you would like to have put on the internet, please let me know. I'm interested in thought provoking essays that deal with science, a search for truth, creating meaning in our lives, and historical figures.

About this page A liberal religion that emphasizes tolerance and respect and incorporates Jewish, Christian and other faith traditions, but has no creed or doctrine . It is incompatible with historical, biblical Christianity Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion born of the Jewish and Christian traditions. We keep our minds open 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. In the end religious authority lies not in a book, person, or institution, but in ourselves. We put religious insights to the test of our hearts and minds. We uphold the free search for truth. We will not be bound by a statement of belief. We do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed. We say ours is a noncreedal religion. Ours is a free faith.

Why do Unitarian-Universalists Celebrate Christmas and Easter? ... 100 Questions that Non-Members Ask about UUism What are the Origins of Unitarian Universalism? Our positive faith of affirmation in humanity and confidence in the universe has grown out of a long history, going back to such thinkers are Origen (AD 185-251) and Arius (AD 256-366). In Canada and the United States, Unitarianism and Universalism arose out of an eighteenth-century protest against Calvinism and state churches. These two movements sought to affirm the natural, rational human personality and to understand deity in terms of the uni personality (i.e. Unity) of God as contrasted with the doctrine of the Trinity , and the normal humanity of Jesus as contrasted with the eternal deity of Christ. At that time, they insisted on the eventual salvation of all humankind, and thus increased the sense of the personal worth of each person. Unitarianism in Canada finds its roots in the Non-subscribing Presbyterians. The first Unitarian church in Canada was founded in Montreal in 1842. Here in Kamloops, Unitarian Universalists have been meeting informally since the 1970s and formally since 1994.

74. What Is Unitarian Universalism? What is unitarian universalism? In unitarian universalism, though,there is no set of theological beliefs that all members hold. http://www.uuce.org/whatis.htm

What is Unitarian Universalism? Understanding Unitarian Universalism is a bit tricky because many people approach it from an experience in the Christian or Jewish faiths. As a result, they have certain assumptions about what a religion is, but unfortunately these assumptions don't easily fit into Unitarian Universalism. For this reason I find it best when explaining our faith to start by looking at some basics about religion. Most religions have two types of beliefs. There are the theological beliefs which address such issues as what is the nature of the ultimate reality, what happens after death, and why do things happen as they do; and there are the relational beliefs concerned with how we should live together in the here and now in a holy/wholly way. Examples of relational beliefs include the Golden Rule (which is found in most religions), and many of the Ten Commandments. Customarily religions have a set of theological beliefs and a set of relational beliefs that all members supposedly hold in common. This is to a large degree how they define themselves. In Unitarian Universalism, though, there is no set of theological beliefs that all members hold. Instead of prescribing a theology we encourage each other to make a free, reasoned and open search for a theology which fits the individual. This means that within any Unitarian Universalist church there is a broad spectrum of theological beliefs.

80. The Healing Heart Of Unitarian Universalism The Healing Heart of unitarian universalism. © Dr. Chris Schriner 2000. Couldyou explain unitarian universalism while balancing on one foot? http://members.aol.com/mpuuc/sermons/chris/healheartuu.html

The Healing Heart of Unitarian Universalism Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation September 17, 2000 I’ve talked with all sorts of Unitarian Universalists all over the continent, and one frustration I hear over and over is that many of us find it hard to explain our denomination to people who inquire about it. Do any of you find yourself groping for words when someone asks you, "So - what does your church believe?" Unfortunately, they are asking the wrong question, and to answer that question we think that we have to state some belief about the universe. Since our congregation includes many beliefs, we don’t know what to say. And even if they don’t ask us to recite our theology we may assume that’s what they’re looking for, because we are conditioned to think "religion = beliefs." Every Unitarian Universalist has the right to develop a personal philosophy of life. We can learn from all religions and all philosophies, without being told what we have to believe. We explore these issues in a caring community, united by common values rather than by common opinions. And no matter what we do believe, we try to live a good life and make this world a better place. And now - the dismount.
