Below, some of our UUFM
members have contributed their “elevator speech” to briefly explain what
Unitarian Universalism means to them.Enjoy.
UU is a liberal religion with no dogma.We honor the oneness of all life, often
involving ourselves with issues of social justice.We find truth through our own inner
guidance.
Unsigned
The UU Church is a congregation of people whose
intent is to gather in worship with the basic universal truths of many
religions. Justice, love and the
betterment of humankind are the focal points, and all are welcome.Come as you are,
where you are.

Unitarian Universalism allows you to have your
own religious beliefs and ideas.As
a group, we feel that religion is a reach for truth carried out by each
individual.You don’t have to
believe in God to be a Unitarian Universalist, but you can if you want to.
Unsigned
UUs believe that each person is a spiritual being
endowed with capacities such as compassion, conscience, trust, and a sense
of justice.Together, in
non-dogmatic community, relying on our common trust and mutual experience,
we develop these capacities in a spirit rooted in tolerance and the
democratic process.We are
committed to employing these capacities as creative and loving agents,
focused on family, citizenship, preserving our mother earth and spreading
justice.
Bernie McG.
We come together to search for the questions and
let each individual search for their own answer.
Leab B.
Unitarian Universalism embodies the practice and
recognition that it is not important, or indeed even functional, to argue
who is right and who is wrong or to try to convince each other of what is
individually and personally true.Instead, given we are all different and believe differently,
Unitarian Universalists embody the strongest
power – the power of love –in
working together to take care of each other, ourselves, the larger
community and the world.
