Answer 1

They basically believe that all with attain salvation via the many roads and religions one may follow. These are just stepping stones to the next step in our journeys. Because of this belief the incorporate the veneer of the various religions. Tolerance, peace and diversity seem to be key themes.

"We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, 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 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.
The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:

Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support.

Answer 3

I took thebigm57's advise and went to www.uua.com and read. This is America so I support their right to exist but not their beliefs. their was No mention of God, Jesus or any deity that I could find. I might be wrong but I could not find it. I think with their beliefs on Peace, ProChoice, advocates of Same Sex Marriage,,,,, they are just another name for the New Age Humanistic religious beliefs that anything is OK as long as no one gets hurt. (except fetesus).
No offense intended to anyone, thats just my take on it.
If I am wrong email me.
Hope this helps

Answer 4

It's 2/3 of the way to the truth.

Answer 5

I tried it once. It is a catch-all religion that accepts all beliefs and whose only law is tolerance. Politically they are very liberal.

Their services were strange. The words of the hymns were changed; their sermons were like lectures and I never felt that I had actually been to church.

Answer 6

It's a great church for people who like to question reality and religion. This church will not tell you what you SHOULD believe, unlike most others.

Answer 7

I can give you that Swedenborgianism is often confused with it.

We care about monotheism and the symbolic Word (or the parables).
