As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that each person should have the freedom to discover what is true according to his or her personal understanding. At the same time, sharing with others in a loving and diverse community encourages us to grow towards our best selves. While we draw upon the world’s spiritual, philosophic, and scientific traditions for insight, a reverence for life forms the essential foundation and purpose of our faith. It awakens a sense of awe for the beauty around us and calls us to work for peace and justice in the world.
