Re-Thinking Religious Tenets

Liberal Bishop JohnSpong has often caused controversy for encouraging people to challenge biblical interpretations and re-think religious tenets. He believes the invasion of thechurch by religious fundamentalists is driving away many of the more liberal-minded church-goers. In his childhood in the southern U.S. in the 1930s, he witnessed racism and that made him vow to end all forms of discrimination in the church.

Get to know us...
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Abilene extends a warm welcome to any and all persons to join us in our celebration of liberal religious values.  We are a lay-led religious group and offer no “absolute truths” or rigid dogmas. Instead, we provide a congenial, intellectually stimulating atmosphere in which you are free to ask questions and seek your own answers.  In a friendly and casual setting, you will meet people who care about other people.  Please join us and discover for yourself the fun and excitement of being an Unitarian Universalist! 

What is Unitarian Universalism?
We are a diverse and highly individualistic group.  Basically, though, Unitarian Universalism (UU) is a religion centered upon an open ended quest for meaning in life and a shared effort to put our best values into practice in our daily affairs.  Since UU has no creed or doctrinal barrier, it makes no distinction of race or nationality, but welcomes with open doors all persons who are committed to the search for truth and to the service of the highest they know.

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is a religious organization that combines two traditions: The Universalists who organized in 1793 and the Unitarians who organized in 1825.  They merged in 1961 to form the UUA which serves more than 1,200 congregations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and overseas. Information about Unitarian Universalism and the activities of the denomination can be found on the website www.uua.org.

Unitarian Universalism affirms and promotes:

• 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 right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregation and in society at large.
  
• 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.
