You guys have any Christians amongst you?

[UUAElectronicComm]

Thank you for asking. Unitarian Universalism is a theologically diverse religion. Christians are welcome in Unitarian Universalist congregations and many Unitarian Universalists identify as Christians.

This is what religion should be. proud to be a UU

I'm Catholic but I love UU...

[Megantron9000]

I always had a wide variety of beliefs ranging from bits of Christianity, to Buddhism, to Paganism, figuring that I was a spiritual oddball who would never have a church to go to. Now that I've found you I feel like a hole in my heart has been filled with your loving community. Thank you.

thank you so much for making this video! i have been lost in my faith, and i have started questioning a lot of what i was taught as a child here lately. i believe i have now found a place where i belong and will not be judged for believing in so many other things than what i was taught. thank you, thank you, thank you!

WHOO! UNITARIANISM!!!

[Ralph1Waldo]

I understand your sense of distrust -- it's common among atheists who don't have prior experience with UUism. It may seem counterintuitive, but this is a "religion" that's not about worshipping supernatural things. It's about *people*. And coming together to celebrate and enrich mortal life, to work for human rights, to love, protect and revel in the natural universe, and to build a better world. But there's no dogma and no creed, so no one is excluded based on belief of disbelief.

I knew this place before the church was built - lived about three miles away in 1949

Do the Lovetts still own it - or have they passed - I knew them since 1967

i am an ex-pentecostal minister who became agnostic and now attend a uu church. it rocks. ;)

Some UU church choirs use robes, and others do not. Some reside in traditional looking church buildings, and others do not. In a UU church, you might listen to a Bach Mass one weekend and rock n roll the next. The UU faith does not shun tradition, it simply keeps heart and mind open to new possibilities.

Liberal has to do with being free and open to new ideas...free to evolve spiritually just as all life evolves. Liberal, in this case, is not a reference to the political arena. Liberal can also mean generous...as in the phrase "apply liberally".

I've no statistics to share, but I'd venture to guess that most Unitarian Universalists lean toward liberal candidates in the voting booth. That said, I have met a few UUs who identify themselves as politically conservative.

i'm really not trying to troll here, but telling me you're agnostic says nothing to me about what you believe or disbelieve. Agnosticism has to do with knowledge not belief. If asked "do you believe in the existence of a god, and/or gods(esses) etc." and your answer is yes then you're a theist. Anything else and you're an atheist.
