... a spiritual home for
religious free thinkers. |
Unitarian Universalism
is a liberal religion born of the Jewish and Christian
traditions. We keep our minds open to the religious
questions people have struggled with in all times and
places. We respect differences, in fact, we thrive on
them. It is our diversity of beliefs and our
acceptance of our differences that make us a
Fellowship of Equals.
|
 |
WE
believe that all personal experience, conscience,
and reason should be the final authorities in
religion. In the end religious authority lies
not in a book, person or institution, but in
ourselves. We put insights to the test of our
hearts and minds. |
|
|
WE
uphold the free search for truth and we value doubt
as well as commitment. We will not be bound by
a statement of belief. We do not ask anyone to
subscribe to a creed. We say ours is a
non-creedal religion, ours is a free faith. |
|
|
WE
believe that religious wisdom is ever changing.
Human understanding of life and death, the world and
its mysteries, is never final. Revelation is
continuous. We celebrate unfolding truths
known to teachers, prophets, and sages throughout
the ages. |
|
|
WE
affirm the dignity and worth of all women and men.
We believe people should be encouraged to think for
themselves. We know people differ in their
opinion and lifestyles, and we believe these
differences generally should be honored. |
|
|
WE
seek to act as a moral force in the world, believing
that ethical living is supreme witness of religion.
The here and now and the effects our actions will
have on future generations deeply concern us.
We know that our relationships with one another,
with diverse peoples, races, and nations, should be
governed by justice, equity, and compassion |

SERVICE PROJECT & ANNUAL MEETING
On
SUNDAY MAY 4 at noon-ish we will have our regular
Congregational Pot Luck "with a twist" - The UUFT
Women's Group will be catering the congregational
lunch for donations for their newest service
project, Jewish World Watch, in hopes of providing
solar
cookers to
help and protect the women and children of Darfur.
Please attend and learn more about this worthy cause
as well as their continued dedication to
Women for Women International (click
on logos above for more information).
The
ANNUAL MEETING will take place after the meal,
so come hungry with an open heart (and open pockets)
and give voice to the direction we take our
Fellowship!

workshop held at the Center for Wellness Institute
in Tyler
