What do Unitarians believe?

Here are some things that are important to Unitarians ...

  • We believe that freedom from prescribed creeds, dogmas and confessions of faith is necessary if people are to seek and find truth for themselves.
  • We rate spiritual honesty above religious conformity
  • We are seekers and sharers, fellow pilgrims on the path
  • We are open to truth from many sources
  • We cherish reason and acknowledges honest doubt
  • The spirit of love, truth and liberty  are  important  to us.
  • We hold that all people have the right to believe what their own life-experience tells them is true.
