"We believe that no single religion has a monopoly on wisdom; that the answers to the great religious questions change from generation to generation; and that the ultimate truth about God and creation, death, meaning, and the human spirit cannot be captured in a narrow statement of faith. - William F. Schulz

Unitarian Universalism
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious tradition formed from the consolidation of two liberal denominations in America: Unitarianism (est. in 1825) and Universalism (est in 1793). The Unitarians were humanists who believed in the oneness of all humanity. The Universalists were Christians who believed in the universal salvation of mankind. After consolidating in 1961, these faiths became Unitarian Universalism through the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). The newly formed UUA dropped the formal identification as a Christian denomination and decided the focus would be on our shared values and principles and what those values call us to do in the world, rather than on a creed or a single set of scriptures that tell us the story of how things came to be.
Unitarian Universalism embraces theological diversity. We affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person without subscribing to a particular dogma, creed, or belief system. We cherish reason, freedom of religion and thought, and embrace democratic principles.
