Unitarianism in 500 words or less
Unitarianism is a non-creedal and non-doctrinal faith. So I speak for myself here. I would say that as a faith of practice two of its main "sacraments" are questioning and seeking. It supports people as they practice seeking truth, their truth. It encourages people to question, wonder and transform their beliefs into a stronger and more complex places of faith. Its salvation is the knowledge that all of us are held in the love of Gd - no exceptions. Unitarians deeply value the relational nature of life. How we live and support and thrive with each other, our communities, our world, our resources, ourselves. Often this work of relationship demands our participation in justice for all and it also demands our living lives of service, inquiry and even celebration. (Gd's world is complex and beautiful beyond our imagination). For some of us (my self included) Jesus and the trinity express an example of this - Father a source of being, Son a source of justice and change, Holy Spirit a source of renual and strength.
