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.

Unitarianism is a religious movement which has evolved in the Christian tradition and originated in the Reformation of the 16th Century. It now recognises and upholds the right of each individual to seek and to find truth and meaning according to the evidence of his or her own experience.
