What is Unitarian Universalism?

		NITARIAN UNIVERSALISM came into being with the merger of two older religious denominations in 1961. Both the Unitarians and the Universalists had roots in ancient Christian times. Their beliefs, including freedom of belief, unity of all existence and universal salvation were, in those times, considered heretical. NITARIAN UNIVERSALISM is a creedless, free religion; there is no theological test for membership. We are encouraged to find insights from all the world’s great faiths. We believe that no single religion has the ultimate truth about God, creation, death, and the human spirit. We invite people to be responsible, grateful for life's blessings, cherish the earth, and free the oppressed. From a combination of reflection and experience, each one of us shapes a personal faith. For more information on the history of Unitarian Universalism, visit the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Web site. To learn more about famous Unitarian Universalists, spend some time here. Grounded in Unitarian Universalist principles that affirm the worth, dignity and human rights of every person, and the interdependence of all life, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee is a voluntary, nonsectarian organization working to advance justice throughout the world.
