UU is an abbreviation of Unitarian Universalism. Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition that has changed in many ways from the original Christian roots of its Universalist and Unitarian heritages, and it continues to evolve today.
UU is the modern progressive version of the second oldest Protestant tradition in the United States. We come from the Puritans, but we are fully progressive community of spiritual seekers. We are the non-Christian extension of Congregationalists; we welcome all faith expressions and those with no faith.
Unitarian Universalism is primarily in the United States and England, but it is a global movement of progressive faith.
In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart. We have more than one way of experiencing the world and understanding the sacred.
We are building an action-oriented community, bridging races, religions, and creeds with a shared desire to make faith, religion, and spirituality verbs.
We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace.
We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.
We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.
We are Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, atheist and agnostic, believers in God, and more.
On the forefront of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer inclusion for more than 40 years, we are people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
We seek to welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith.
