Unitarian Universalist Theology

Unitarian Universalism is a religion without a creed. This is to say that there is no belief or set of beliefs that an individual must adhere to in order to call themselves a Unitarian Universalist. Even the UU Principles, which have been often used to describe us in the twenty-four years of their existence, are not meant to be seen as definitive. When we UUs are asked what we believe, even the briefest of answers are diverse and varied. Without a concise, universal kernel of religious truth to name, our faith is frequently examined.

Following is a list of three different contemporary sermons which attempt to examine and describe Unitarian Universalism. Each has a different perspective about what Unitarian Universalism means to the speaker. Pick one of the sermons. How does your personal faith match or diverge from what is described?
