Unitarian Universalist Sources

Unitarian Universalism draws from many Sources:

• Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life

• Words and deeds of prophetic people which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love

• Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life

• Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves

• Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit

• Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
