Unitarian Universalism
A faith of Freedom for the Future of our World
The Inherent Worth and Dignity of Every Person The Interdependent Web of all Existence of which We are a Part Unitarian Universalism is the saving grace that gave me hope that religion could be a positive force for transformational change in our world… but it also was a positive force for that same transformational change in my own life. A Liberal Religious Faith founded not on one particular doctrine or scripture, but rather on the willingness to grow with knowledge, to learn from human experience (including religious experience in the form of scripture) and find the true nature of religion not in particular beliefs, but in the relationships between us all. I invite you to explore this Liberal Religious Faith, whether it is something that speaks to your spirit and soul or not.

For years I searched for a way to combine the religious passion I felt for our world with a movement of like-hearted and like-minded individuals willing to work to make the “Kingdom of God” not some hope for a future heaven, but a reality we are called to bring to the here and now. That search led me eventually to a small, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and to two saving lines of Grace… the Gospel of Unitarian Universalism…

David,
I have enjoyed reading your posts. I am a member of the UUChurch of Birmingham (Alabama) and co-chair of the worship partners committee. In August, we embark upon a year without a ministerm, an introspective year while we search for a new settled minister. I wanted to invite you to be a guest of our church and deliver a sermon on or around Veteran’s Day. Then I read your thought provoking post “My Reticence to Support UU Congregational Outreach to Veterans”.How about helping us with “in-reach”? How about helping us ask the “right” (in your view) questions of ourselves. And finally, how about coming to visit us in October so we can better prepare for Veteran’s Day? I hope to hear from you soon.
Susan
Susan,
I have for a long-time been a fan of the UU Church of Birmingham, ever since reading the book “Miracle in Birmingham” and learning of the heroism of members of that congregation during the Civil Rights Movement. I would be honored to visit your congregation, but timing is an issue… Please send me an email at david@celestiallands.org.
Yours in Faith,
David
