Who We Are………….

We Unitarians

practice a style of religious living and worshipping which encourages people to discover themselves. It is a style which is concerned for the integrity of the relationships which we have with others, with the environment and with the universe. The moral climate of a Unitarian community might be described as 'reverence for life' and its worshipping atmosphere as 'celebration of life'.

Unitarians are under no external pressure from creed, doctrines and dogmas, scripture or church. The emphasis is on being true to oneself. We admire, and strive to emulate the lives of those who show us how to be true to ourselves, such as Jesus, the Buddha, Gandhi or Schweitzer and countless others, but the relevance of the life and teachings of such individuals is a matter of personal decision.

Unitarians accept that religion is open to change and development in the light of new thought and discovery, and we recognise that people use words in different ways, so that religious language which is helpful to one person is limiting to another. What unites us, whatever our personal religion, is a common concern for the quality of life which we revere and celebrate in our gatherings and as a community.

"Who we are" - compiled by the members of St. Mark's Unitarian Church, Edinburgh, Scotland, in "Reflections - an anthology of prayers, meditations and poems" by contemporary Unitarians, published in 1979 by the Unitarian Worship Sub-Committee of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, 1-6 Essex Street, London, WC2R 3HY, UK - and adapted by Rev. Gordon R. Oliver, Unitarian Church, Cape Town -June 2005
