About Unitarian Universalism
Beliefs & Principles
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion that embraces theological diversity; we welcome different beliefs and affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

A flame within a chalice (a cup with a stem and foot) is a symbol of the Unitarian Universalist faith.

Unitarian Universalists have a rich religious community with Sunday and holiday services and life passage celebrations.

The Unitarian Universalist Association Board of Trustees held their quarterly meeting in Boston, MA, from April 18 to 21. UUA Secretary Tom Loughrey has prepared a letter sharing important news from that meeting. The letter reads, in part, "Our Association faces many challenges. We are in a sea of change. Our congregations are all more or less engaged in the question about how our congregations and other U.U. communities can make a real difference in the world today. It is the Board’s role to make sure the question is being engaged not just in our congregations and local groups but in our Association as well."
