Sounds! [12/22/2008]
We now have sound files on our Church web site! Here's a list of recent recordings.
In addition to recordings made here in Evanston, UCE has become a sponsor of "LifeNow! Radio,"
a weekly audio program produced by members of Rochester, New York's
First Unitarian Church and First Universalist churches and hosted by
the Rev. Kaaren Anderson of First Unitarian. You can even subscribe to
their podcast!
New to Unitarian Universalism? [11/15/2008]
If you would like to learn about our denomination, you may wish to view " Voices of a Liberal Faith,"
a video produced by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) of
Congregations. You can pick up a free DVD of the video from the Guest
and Membership Services table in the lobby on Sunday, or order it
directly from the UUA at no cost here. |
Nurturing the Human Spirit
for a World Made Whole
With
historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian
Universalism is a liberal religion that keeps an open mind about the
religious questions people have always struggled to resolve. We affirm
the dignity of all persons, and we believe that personal experience,
conscience, and reason should be the final authorities in the search
for truth. Member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist
Association covenant to affirm and promote the Seven Principles of
Unitarian Universalism:
- 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

Love is the spirit of this church
And service is its law.
This is our great covenant:
To dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth in love,
And to help one another.
-- James Vila Blake
