What We Believe

Unitarian Universalism is a quirky faith, and one of our defining quirks is that there is no definitive answer. In this manner, we are very close to the rabbinic tradition in Judaism where people consult as many authoritative sources as possible but ultimately must make their own decisions.

As we have no official Unitarian Universalist creed, each of us is free to search for truth on many paths.  Some of us believe in a God while others do not.  Some of us believe that each person houses a divine spirit while others do not believe in any sort of divinity.  Our common denominator is a belief in openness, tolerance, and compassion for others and our environment.

Although each of us seeks an individual truth, Unitarian Universalists are bound together by the seven principles and spiritual sources of our religious faith.
