Unitarian UniversalismUnitarian UniversalismUnitarian Universalism can trace their roots back to Christian Protestantism. Unitarianism developed in the Common Era as a belief that all people would be saved. The first Unitarian Churches were established in sixteenth-century Transylvania. These Churches continue to worship today. Universalism was developed in America in the late 1700’s and was established in Boston. It was not until the early 1960’s did these separate religious groups Unitarian and Universalism united to form what is now Unitarian Universalism. The religion is very much theologically liberal and it is supported by the notion that a free and responsible search for truth and meaning is important.
Practical and cultural significance
For a number of centuries, in the United States, Universalism served as the foundation of many other universal and social religion schools and organizations. For example, at this point, a variety of religions have been developed such as Reformed, Unitarian Universalism, and Universalist: Christian or Unitarian Universalism. The United States and United Kingdom have both made important exceptions if they hold these religious groups to be legitimate. As well, the United States has recognized, albeit inconsistently, the religious freedom of religious minorities. For example, in 1988, President Obama stated that religious expression of the public is not just restricted to only “Christian,” but must include people of all faiths that can come to recognize their spiritual and social claims.
Practical and cultural significance
It is important to emphasize in your discussion of Unitarian Universalist that it was founded on a belief system that was consistent with a “comprehensive social consensus based on shared values.” This is the premise being the basis of the Universalism and Unitarian Universalists’ religious beliefs. Unitarian Universalism does not mean that every religion can be worshiped for its own personal, universal purposes, but that the belief system can take advantage of any other group in order not to undermine that belief system. That is why, if Unitarian Universalism were to follow the principles of Universalism, it would have a very different agenda: first, to keep it all together, then because it is so cohesive. Second, to use certain principles of Unitarian Universalism to guide their program, and third, to maintain a level playing field for some groups, to allow them to become more cohesive. It should also be noted that the Universalist ideology and core tenets are also in common with the beliefs of Christianity.
Unitarian Universalist leaders and leaders in this particular era were often inspired by and inspired by the teachings of Paul, John Calvin, and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. In fact, at least one Unitarian Universalist, James W. Phelps, did so, during this period of time. Phelps, being an American Protestant he married after their divorce came to this country. He worked as a minister in the East Coast Conference. In his writings, Phelps is fond of the phrase “one who is without religion” and the phrase “the faith of God.” This can be seen as Phelps’ view that Unitarian Universalism is based on a true God that is “without religion.” The unifying and guiding beliefs of the Universalist faith were a natural and profound principle for him, especially as he learned to listen to and relate the ideas and ideas and to relate to his fellow Unitarian Universalists. It was this humility and faith that enabled Unitarian Universalism to spread throughout the country of Great Britain, and eventually through America, Belgium, and Belgium
Unitarian Universalist is a liberal religion that encompasses many faiths. Unitarian Universalists include people that identify themselves as Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics, and Humanists to name a few. According to Rev. Marta Flanagan (2007), “We uphold the free search for truth. We will not be bound by a statement of belief. We do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed. We say ours is a non-creedal religion. Ours is a free faith.” Although the Unitarian Universalists have varied beliefs, they share common principles. There are seven principals that Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote. When a Unitarian Universalists speaks of worship they are referring to a shared religious life that the congregation shares. Those things of worship include Sunday services, creating music, honoring marriage and death, and celebrating special holidays together. The glue that holds Unitarian Universalists together is that their followers are dedicated to working toward civil rights and fighting oppression. While followers cannot take action on every justice issue, the main goal is to encourage making the world a better place.
The backbone of the Unitarian Universalism religious community is the seven principles.The Seven PrinciplesThe 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 congregations 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.These seven principles draw from many different sources. According to the Unitarian Universalist web site (2007), the sources are from direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and openness to the forces that create and uphold life. The principles also come from words and deeds of prophetic women and men that challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love. Wisdom from the worlds religions also inspires the principle that inspires believers in their ethical and spiritual life. Jewish and Christian teachings call believers to respond to Gods love by loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. Humanist teachings have influenced and counseled us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit. The spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions like that of indigenous peoples teach them celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct followers to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
Many religious groups have a symbol that ties their religion together. The Unitarian Universalist religion is no different. Their symbol is the flaming chalice. The flaming chalice unites members and symbolizes the spirit of their work as a group. An Austrian artist named Hans Deutsch first brought the origin of the symbol together. Hans created it during World War II during his work with the Unitarian Service Committee. His interpretation of the image was that of sacrifice and love. The cup represented religious community and the flame represented sacrifice. The flaming chalice is interpreted in many ways and there is no single way to interpret it. The actual image has changed over the years and there is no universal image. That is why one may see different chalice and flame images in different congregations. The modern chalice designs often have two overlapping circles. Those circles for many represent our Unitarian and Universalist heritages. Other elements of the
p>charmalice represent all the religious and community-centered actions of the individual members. Each person chooses to draw his/her own symbol, and it can all be seen as the way for him/her. Each and every individual and every religious movement has its own way of communicating those symbols. Some people do have their own symbol for the world. All those who draw their own symbol for the community represent that community’s true and original purpose in life. These symbols and their interpretations may explain, communicate and share many of the common goals and desires of many religions and communities and a diversity of beliefs and lifestyles.
There are often different ways of displaying the flame on one’s public display and you may also notice other symbols in a different place, especially in your home or in your business.
