Unitariun Universalism
The Unitariun Universalism is a faith that is a theological liberal religion which supports a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. The church does not observe a creed but rather a shared search for spiritual growth and have a wide range of beliefs and practices.
Universalism broadly refers to any religion and theology that believes all persons and creatures are related to God or the divine and will be reconciled to God.
Traditionally, Unitarianism was a form of Christianity. The term may refer to any belief about the nature of Jesus Christ that affirms God as a singular entity and rejects the doctrine of the Trinity
Unitarianism and Universalism trace their origins to Christian Protestantism and thus Unitarian Universalism has its historical roots in the Christian faith.
There are approximately 630,000 recognized adherents to the church.
Unitarian Universalist congregations and fellowships tend to retain some Christian traditions, such as Sunday worship with a sermon and the singing of hymns, they do not necessarily identify themselves as Christians, nor do they necessarily subscribe to Christian beliefs. Beliefs:
The inherent worth and dignity of every person. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. A separate organization is the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists founded in 1995, which coordinates national Unitarian and Universalist associations of churches throughout the world.
