Credo vs. Creed: The Seven Principles as Theological Insights or On Becoming Sevenprincipalians

June 20, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Rev. Dr. Finley C Campbell

Are white UUs inherently racists? Dr. Campbell will address this issue by examining our seven principles. Are they a credo or a creed? Can we view them from the perspective of Marxist Leninist historical theism? What is the relevance of the principles for the struggle now going on in the UUA to address racism? Are we going toward a multiracial Unitarian Universalism for all our members or a multicultural Black Unitarian Universalism for some of our members?

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Best Church:
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

“A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection? A church that regularly presents nationally touring singer-songwriters? A church where half the congregation might have been at Hunter-Gatherer the night before? Now that’s a church we can support.”

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
