Unitarianism With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion - that is, a religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves. We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed. Our congregations are self-governing. Authority and responsibility are vested in the membership of the congregation. Each Unitarian Universalist congregation is involved in many kinds of programs. Worship is held regularly, the insights of the past and the present are shared with those who will create the future, service to the community is undertaken, and friendships are made. A visitor to a U U congregation will very likely find events and activities such as church school, day-care centers, lectures and forums, support groups, poetry festivals, family events, adult education classes and study groups.

Sunday Services The duty roster for the month is on the current newsletter To read some previous services click here New members at a joining ceremony - March 2003 Sunday Services for April 6 April 9:30am Bagels followed by 10am service “New Beginnings” by Roger Pym, our new minister Beginnings are challenging, exciting and sometimes a little terrifying. How do we mark new beginnings in our own lives? We as a church mark a new beginning today—a partnership in ministry. What is partnership? We all have a part to play. Come to enjoy bagels together before Roger’s first service as our first full-time minister in many years. This Sunday we will also launch our Annual Pledge Drive. 13 April “Life is Like Driving a Car – Or Is It?” by Roger Pym When we learn to drive, we learn the road code—to what extent does life have a road code? Taking risks, stepping out into the unknown is part of life but taking risks in “driving” can have a fatal outcome. Perhaps the road code for life has more options and possibilities in it? Road codes can bind us to rules or they can set us free to walk to the beat of our own drum. Tues, 15 April 7pm Presentation on the Unitarian movement all over the world by Rev. Olivia Holmes

Below are our Unitarian Principles and Purposes. These will give you an idea of where Unitarian chaplains come from in being able to accept a wide variety of personal and social realities and treat your unique circumstances and relationships with honour and respect. Who are the Unitarians? We are a worldwide church established 300 years ago. We are a people who come together to maintain an inclusive fellowship welcoming all women and men of goodwill, without regard to differences of race or background or theological belief. We are a free church allowing members to create individual creeds which includes a whole range of beliefs. Our ceremonies are individually designed and includes marriages, same-gender unions, baby naming, funerals and memorial services. We hold these rites of passage to be a serious endeavor. A Unitarian ceremony, based as it is on the personal integrity of the participants rather than institutional forms, may provide a suitable meeting place for people coming from different religious, cultural or ethnic traditions. We aim at being inclusive rather than exclusive. Our ceremonies can range from humanistic to spiritual, depending on the beliefs and desires of the participants. As Unitarian Chaplains, our goal is to co-create ceremonies expressing the deepest intentions of the people involved. It is of ultimate importance to us to reflect the highest values participants hold.

Unitarianism A creedless religion Unitarianism is a creedless religion, dating from the 16th century and with roots in Transylvania and Poland. Its British incarnation arose from the Protestant Dissenting tradition in the 1600s. Unlike most religions which claim to provide ``The Answer'' in the form of a creed also serving as a criterion for membership, Unitarianism doesn't even claim to know the questions! Rather, we offer a space in which each individual is free-indeed, is forced-to determine her or his personal beliefs and values, in the light of conscience. See the following links for more details: The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (the ``Headquarters'' of the denomination in the UK) The Hibbert Assembly Golders Green Unitarians (where I am organist) The Unitarian Universalist Association or the Canadian Unitarian Council (the North American incarnations) The Unitarian Church of Transylvania (where it all began) When people ask me how I became a Unitarian, my standard answer is that I didn't have much choice-my father is a Unitarian minister! (at Upper Chapel on Sheffield's Norfolk Street, opposite the Crucible Theatre where they hold the Snooker championships.) Since I came to London, I have been organist at Golders Green Unitarians, a wonderful place with the equally wonderful address of 31 1/2 Hoop Lane (Yes, that's right: thirty-one and a half !), Golders Green, NW11. Services are at 11am each Sunday. Come along-you may be pleasantly surprised :-) . (You may even get to hear me lead a service. I don't know if this is an incentive to attend or to stay away ;-) .)

Unitarianism: Then and Now Dave Weissbard UU Church Rockford, IL The Reading from The History of Unitarianism (Vol II) Earl Morse Wilbur Freedom, reason and tolerance then are not the final goals to be aimed at in religion, but only conditions under which the true ends may best be attained. The ultimate ends proper to a religious movement are two, personal and social; the elevation of personal character, and the perfecting of the social organism, and the success of a religious body may best be judged by the degree to which it attains these ends. Only if the Unitarian movement, true to its principles of freedom, reason and tolerance, goes on through them and finds its fulfillment in helping [people] to live worthily as children of God, and to make their institutions worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven, will its mission be accomplished. The Sermon [Col. Styne] I called the phone company to complain and they told me their policy was that they did not judge: if someone had a letterhead, they could have a listing. I contacted the Unitarian Universalist Association and its attorney wrote a letter trying to dissuade Colonel Styne, but to no avail. He told me that when people called him looking for a church, he generally referred them to us. [the NEW "American Unitarian Association"] It is certainly true that the content of the Unitarian Universalism of 2001 bears little relationship to the content of Unitarian beliefs of two centuries ago. Duhhh. What is consistent is the Unitarian method, the meaning. It seems worthwhile for us to look back in order to better understand the present.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF PAGANISM TO UNITARIANISM Talk by Rel Davis, minister, before the University Unitarian Universalist Society, in Orlando, Florida, on March 12, 2000. Click here for a MSWord document of this talk If we are to talk about the relationship of paganism to Unitarianism, we first must understand the historical background of the two movements. Let’s start with Unitarianism. In the first half of the fourth century of the common era, Rome’s emperor, Constantine, was faced with serious political problems. His empire was crumbling from within and the barbarians were threatening the borders. His army by now was made up largely of lower class citizens so it was about evenly divided into members of the Jewish mystery cult called Christians and by members of a Persian mystery cult called Mithraism. If these two groups both of them fanatical in their zeal ever began fighting among themselves, there would be civil war and the Empire would be left unguarded. The Christian Jews honored a former rabbi by the name of Joshua who was sometimes called the Christ or the Messiah. The Mithraists honored the Persian sun god Mithras. Because of a quirk in linguistics, some of the Christians were beginning to copy a lot of Mithraic theology into their own. The linguistic quirk was this: The Hebrew word Meshiach, usually transliterated messias in Greek, meant "anointed with oil." The Hebrews always used oil to recognize someone chosen for a high task or office. Jewish kings were always anointed with oil and so were high priests. Both kings and high priests were, to the Jews, messiahs. To the Jews, a messiah was always just a human being.

The Golden Age of Unitarianism Sermon by the Rev. Robert Schaibly February 28, 1999 First Unitarian Universalist Church Houston, Texas The Golden Age of Unitarianism is one of the most exciting times in American history. It is the middle part of the 19th century, some say from 1815 until 1865. This is a time of great new American literature, novels, and poetry and nature writing. It is a time of tremendous optimism and self-development, a belief that you can cultivate yourself into being a better person than you are. The Lyceum lecture halls can help with your education. Relationships between men and women can change so that both sexes might grow into a more equitable relationship that helps both develop. And it is a time of social reform, when public education will begin, and sentiment for abolishing slavery will grow, and the status of women be debated, and concern for humanitarian conditions for prisoners and the mentally ill and the factory workers will be widely discussed. There is a confidence that we can make the world we want, and Unitarian thought is central to all of this. We thought humanity has the potential to goodness as much as to stray, and considered it fatalistic to imagine that we are predestined for heaven or hell. But in a time of fatalism, when the doctrines of total depravity and predestination were widely believed, to think otherwise was revolutionary. Those early American Unitarians called themselves Liberal Christians. There was no denomination until the year 1825 when the American Unitarian Association was formed.

A Little of the History of Unitarianism [The readings for this service were taken from works on the history of Unitarianism, including an account of the death of the martyr Michael Servetus.] Unitarianism is a free religion. Its freedom has been won by the works of those, like Michael Servetus, who dared to resist the pressures of orthodoxy and to apply reasoned judgement to the Scriptures. Many of these people suffered greatly for adopting views that we at variance with the teachings of the orthodox church. Servetus, and many others, both on the continent and in this country, were executed for daring to publicise heretical views. John Biddle, who lived in the seventeenth century, and has sometimes been called 'the father of English Unitarianism', spent something like half his life in prison. When we talk about Michael Servetus from the sixteenth century, or John Biddle from the seventeenth century, we are inclined to form the idea that the events which shaped our religion happened long ago. But that's simply not true. Here is a paragraph from Jeremy and Rosemary Goring's little book, published in 1984, called 'The Unitarians': 'On Sunday, 22nd October 1933 the Reverend Lawrence Redfern, a Unitarian minister, preached in Liverpool Cathedral at the invitation of the Dean. He was a gifted preacher and his sermon was, by all accounts, eloquent, moving and not at all controversial. But some people - who had not themselves been present at the service - said it was a 'grave scandal' against the Church of England, and consequently the Convocation of York decided that no Unitarian ought ever again to be allowed to preach in an Anglican church.'

Almost everyone in my family, at least back to the great-grandparents, are or were atheists, but most of us called ourselves Unitarians or actually were Unitarians (if there is such a thing). My Mom's father's father was a Unitarian minister who, as far as I can tell, believed pretty much in Spinoza's god-as-nature. During the 40 or so Christmases I spent with his son and daughter-in-law (he died before I was born), I only heard mention of going to church once on Christmas eve. Regardless, I would have nothing to say about anybody's religion except under one condition: that person's religion becomes intrusive into my life, particularly if that person's religion adversely affects my quality of life.
