We Are Unitarian Universalists

A faith that celebrates diversity, champions justice, and embraces the inherent worth of all people

Who We Are: Our Ethos Statement

Our fellowship is a community of individuals who support each other in seeking spiritual meaning and direction in our lives.

When we gather, we seek to create a sacred time and place. As Unitarian Universalists, we take action in support of a fair, just, and compassionate society.

All are welcome in a spirit of mutual respect.

The Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism

We covenant to affirm and promote:

The inherent worth and dignity of every person

Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations

Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations

A free and responsible search for truth and meaning

The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all

Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part

  • Notable Unitarians

Throughout history, Unitarians have included influential writers, scientists, reformers, and thinkers. In Australia, Catherine Helen Spence (1825–1910), featured on the early five-dollar note, was a pioneering journalist, social reformer, and novelist. Martha Turner Webster (1839–1915) was an early Australian Unitarian minister and possibly the first ordained woman minister in the British Commonwealth.

Unitarians worldwide have included scientists like Joseph Priestley (discoverer of oxygen), writers like Charles Dickens and Louisa May Alcott, and innovators like Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web). You can learn more about notable Unitarians at unitarian.org.uk.

A progressive religious community that welcomes people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and spiritual journeys. Join us in exploring life's biggest questions with open hearts and minds.
