The Unitarian Universalist Association was formed in 1961 by the merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church in America. The basis of modern Unitarian belief is the free search for truth. Truth is found in the universal teachings of the great prophets and teachers of all ages and traditions, but summarized in the Western tradition as love of God and man.
Members believe in the worth of every human and in the democratic method in human relationships.
A world community based on brotherhood, justice, and peace is the goal of all actions. While varying widely in belief structures, Unitarian Universalists generally believe in God as the source of mind and spirit, Jesus as a great prophet, the Bible as a collection of valuable religious writings, science as a source of knowledge, and prayer as a means to lift the mind beyond the ordinary. There are no sacraments. In contradiction to what is stated above, my understanding from another source is that members come from many backgrounds and belief systems, and that none is given priority. Thus, the belief system may be Christian, agnostic, based on nature gods and goddesses, etc.
