Religion For The 21st Century: Unitarian Universalism
()
About this ebook
UU is a religion that is suited to people who are seeking a spiritual affiliation, but who are not attracted to the rigidity of traditional religions. UU encourages each individual to seek his or her own spiritual path as part of a community of fellow seekers. The seven principles discussed in this ebook are the basis of UU. I find UU deeply satisfying and believe others will too.

Introduction
Unitarian Universalism Is A Religion For the 21st Century
Well-Suited to People Who Want a Religion That Is Non-Dogmatic
and With a History of Positive Social Action
This book is written out of love and with a desire to pay back a spiritual community. As an adult I had thought I’d never find a place where my people
congregate. Then I discovered Unitarian Universalism, a non-dogmatic religion with a history of positive social action. Now I know that wherever I go, if there’s a Unitarian Universalist
