by Ed Schempp

Unitarian Universalism is a fierce belief in the way of freedom and reverence for the sacred dignity of each individual. With Jefferson we "have sworn eternal hostility against every tyranny over the mind."

Unitarian Universalism is cooperation with a universe that created us; it is a celebration of life; it is being in love with goodness and justice, it is a sense of humor about absolutes.

Unitarian Universalism is faith in people, hope for tomorrow's children, confidence in a continuity that spans all time. It looks not to a perfect heaven, but toward a good earth. It is respectful of the past, but not limited to it. It is trust in growing and conspiracy with change. It is spiritual responsibility for a moral tomorrow.
