About The Unitarians
WHO WE ARE
At The Unitarians, we strive to promote a spirit of community and inclusivity. Our mission is to explore life and spirituality in the rich traditions of diverse beliefs and foster understanding among people of all faiths
and backgrounds. As Unitarians, we are more than just a spiritual community—we are a global movement of individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a better, more connected world. Rooted in the principles of freedom, reason, and compassion, we stand for a spirituality that transcends boundaries and welcomes all who seek truth, meaning, and belonging.
Unitarianism is a truly universal denomination, embracing the entire world and championing values that resonate with humanity’s shared aspirations. As Unitarians, we support universalistic principles that emphasize inclusivity, equality, and justice, ensuring that every individual feels they have a place in our community. Whether you are exploring spirituality, seeking connection, or pursuing social change, you will find a welcoming home among Unitarians.
At The Unitarians also accredit individual ministers, Unitarian groups, and organizations that do not strictly define themselves as Unitarian but uphold the same values and principles. This approach allows us to extend our reach and foster collaboration with those who align with our mission of inclusivity, love, and service.
What We Believe
OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
Unitarianism is a faith rooted in openness, inquiry, and universal values. While we celebrate the diversity of beliefs within our community, we are united by shared principles that guide us in our spiritual journeys and our actions in the world:
- Freedom of Belief: We honor each individual’s right to explore their own spiritual path, guided by reason, experience, and mutual respect. There is no creed or dogma to follow—only the freedom to seek truth.
- Diversity and Inclusivity: We believe in embracing humanity’s rich diversity, fostering understanding and cooperation among people from all walks of life.
- Justice and Compassion: We are committed to social justice, human dignity, and environmental sustainability, working to create a world where compassion prevails.
- Interconnectedness: We recognize the sacred interconnectedness of all life and our shared responsibility to nurture and sustain it.
- Universal Values: As a denomination that spans the globe, we support principles that unite humanity, focusing on what connects us rather than what divides us.
Unitarians share a vision of spirituality that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal—a call to create a community of love, understanding, and purpose.

Exploring Faith and Spirituality
The Role of Faith in Overcoming Adversity
Faith can provide strength and comfort during difficult times. It can help people find hope and meaning in their struggles, and give them the courage to keep moving forward.
The Power of Ritual and Ceremony
Rituals and ceremonies can be a powerful way to connect with our spirituality and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose. They can help us mark important milestones, honor our ancestors, and connect with the divine.
The Intersection of Science and Spirituality
While science and spirituality may seem like opposing concepts, they can actually complement each other. Many scientists and spiritual leaders believe that science can help us understand the physical world, while spirituality can help us understand the deeper meaning and purpose of life.
Exploring Different Spiritual Traditions
There are many different spiritual traditions in the world, each with its own unique beliefs, practices, and teachings. By exploring different traditions, we can gain a broader perspective on spirituality and deepen our own spiritual practice.
The Practice of Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a practice that involves being present in the moment, without judgment or distraction. It can help us reduce stress, increase focus, and connect with our inner selves.
The Importance of Compassion and Service
Compassion and service are at the heart of many spiritual traditions. By helping others and practicing empathy, we can deepen our own spiritual practice and make a positive impact in the world.
