Unitarian Universalism (UU) has fewer members than other major religions.\u00a0 In fact, most Americans don\u2019t even know it exists.\u00a0 Millions pass through high school and college without ever hearing or reading about it.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because most Americans traditionally recognize only three major religions:\u00a0 you\u2019re either Catholic, Protestant or Jewish.\u00a0 Unitarian Universalism, a very different way of approaching religion, is none of the above.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t provide members with a fixed creed, scripture, or set of answers to life\u2019s questions.\u00a0 UU welcomes questioning and challenges people to find their own answers.\u00a0 Other religions are authoritative\u2014for them, UU offers an excess of freedom.<\/p>\n
For these reasons, and also because most Unitarians dislike proselytizing, most new members happen to \u201cstumble\u201d upon it at some point in their life.\u00a0 In fact, it\u2019s a wonder that the local Sedona Unitarian Universalist Fellowship has as many members as it does (nearly 100).\u00a0 Maybe what they offer is an unusually good fit for what people in our community want.<\/p>\n
