What is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion. It has no creed. It affirms the worth of human beings, advocates freedom of belief and the search for advancing truth, and tries to provide a warm, open, supportive community for people who believe that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion. For more information, visit the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.
