Durban
Unitarian Congregation
Durban Unitarians often comment that they attend
services because they 'enjoy them so much', not because they feel they
'ought to'.

About
Durban Unitarians and services
Our
small congregation has no minister. Members of the congregation take
turns (on a volunteer basis) to lead the services.
Services include readings, music, presentations and stimulating discussions
thereof and are followed by coffee and tea during which the subject of the
next presentation is discussed.
Durban Unitarian services are living proof of a commitment to create a
spiritual environment that encourages participants to think for themselves.
The
lighting of candles
A
feature of all our services is 'the lighting of candles' in which members
of the congregation who choose to do so each light a candle.....
· in memory of.....(example:
a departed friend)
· in the hope that.....(example:
a cure for AIDs will be found)
· to remind us that.....(example:
there are many who cannot afford to celebrate Christmas)
· in honour of .....
(example: a spiritual
leader such as Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Hurley, Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai
Lama)
