'The important thing is not to stop questioning.'

 Albert Einstein


 

Unitarian Beliefs

The Unitarians are a spiritual community who encourage you to think for yourself.

They believe that:-

  • everyone has the right to seek truth and meaning for themselves.
  • the fundamental tools for doing this are your own life experience, your reflection upon it, your intuitive understanding and the promptings of your own conscience.
  • the best setting for this is a community that welcomes you for who you are, complete with your beliefs, doubts and questions.

They can be called religious 'liberals'

  • 'religious' because they unite to celebrate and affirm values that embrace and reflect a greater reality than self.
  • 'liberal' because they claim no exclusive revelation or status for themselves; because they afford respect and toleration to those who follow different paths of faith.

They are called 'Unitarians' because

  • of their traditional insistence on divine unity, the oneness of God.
  • because they affirm the essential unity of humankind and of creation.
