UUs-L is a global meeting place for Unitarian Universalists and
anyone going our way. The list's intent is to foster discussion of
functional and structural innovations we can make in our organization
and world.
UUism is a 400-year-old tradition, with roots over a thousand years
older and more than 100,000 current members in North America, about
75% of whom are college graduates. "What Unitarians Believe" will
vary from one individual to another, but you will usually find the
following common characteristics:
We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.
We believe in the authority of reason and conscience, and the
never-ending search for truth.
We believe in the importance of the democratic and consensus
processes, and the necessity of things like community, good group
dynamics, caring, and connectivity.
The best way to illustrate what we DO with these beliefs is to refer
you to some historically famous Unitarian Universalist thinkers and
doers:
Thomas Jefferson Henry David Thoreau
John Adams Walt Whitman
Paul Revere Charles Dickens
Buckminster Fuller Henry W. Longfellow
Joseph Priestly Ralph Waldo Emerson
Charles Darwin Albert Schweitzer
Alexander Graham Bell Florence Nightingale
Samuel Morse Susan B. Anthony
P.T. Barnum Clara Barton
Rod Serling Oliver Wendell Holmes
Frank Lloyd Wright Millard Fillmore
And some who are alive today: ;-)
