Unitarianism

As Unitarians we believe in freedom and responsibility; freedom to think independently in the shared search for religious understanding and responsibility for ourselves. We are not required to accept any particular dogma, but are free to seek an understanding of experience, life, and the universe in which we live in terms true to each of us as individuals.

Although Unitarianism grew out of traditional Protestant Christianity, from which we inherit our emphasis on individual conscience, tolerance and social responsibility, it is no longer restricted to Christian ideas alone. Many Unitarians still see themselves as followers of the teaching and example of Jesus, but do not see him as an exclusive incarnation of God. Most Unitarians seek the substance of their faith by an awareness of truth in all religions and in secular and humanist sources. Meetings and services are open to all and we value the concept of sharing as we seek to 'build our own spirituality'.

Rites of Passage

All our churches are available for weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies, other blessings and rites of passage. The tradition in the Unitarian Church is for these ceremonies to be specially prepared to meet the needs and wishes of the participant(s).
