Any UU's here?

There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations 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.

They sound nice.

Welcome! I haven't been locally, but a friend is a member at the ValP congregation. Would you like his number to ringy dingy him ? He can provide demographics details...

UU's sound awfully rational, positive, intelligent, and accepting. Where is the "h__ fire and d___nation" stuff?

Like this?
Secular humanism describes a world view with the following elements and principles:

• Need to test beliefs - A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted on faith.
• Reason, evidence, scientific method - A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith and mysticism, in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.
• Fulfillment, growth, creativity - A primary concern with fulfillment, growth, and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.
• Search for truth - A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.
• This life - A concern for this life and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.
• ethics - A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.
• Building a better world - A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

Or do UU's believe in God and Jesus too?

[Matt J]

In MY experience during discussions with fellow UU's most do believe in God, but most view Jesus as a prophet more than the traditional Christian teaching.

I'm new to the area and am looking for a local UU (for services & to meet those in the community). Where do most of the SRB UU's go? (Panama City or Valpariaso)

We have young children & would like to find a congregation with young ones too.

Thanks : )

G'morning! My buddy says that the ValP group has a rapidly growing group of young people, as well as some specialized groups both for the youth and for parents of yung'uns.

thanks everyone! Not sure exactly what we are going to do. ValP is such a long drive, so is PC!

Does anyone attend the Seaside Interfaith Chapel? Is it light on the dogma? Is it really open to all faiths (not just the Christian ones)?
