A New Religious Journey: Universal Unitarians

  

   We are continuing our religious journey tomorrow by attending a Universal Unitarian church; a friend will be guiding us. We were very interested in this religion because we were told that there are many forms to this religion. Tonight, we learned a couple main Unitarian ideas. We learned some facts about Unitarian beliefs by visiting the UU Church of Nashua website, which includes 100 Questions that Non-Members Ask.
    
  •  Not all Unitarians believe in God. Unitarians ultimately believe that one should respect, be kind, and basically be a good person--but not all Unitarians believe in God.
    • Many Unitarians don't have sculptures or icons inside their churches. Some, however, have symbols from many religions. The ultimate decision is left up to each individual parish--there is no rule about the use of religious symbols. 
    As you can probably see, Unitarianism is a very unique religion--mainly because not all of the people inside the same place of worship have the same beliefs. We are very excited to attend a Unitarian service tomorrow, and will definitely write more about it. If you are a Unitarian, we invite you to let us know about your church. Do you believe in God? What does your church look like? How do you pray--at home, at church, or both? Let us know--we will be very grateful to you, and interested to find out some more information about this interesting religion.

    To be continued...
