Welcome to the Harbor Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Recently many members attended a talk back session after Sunday Service. We discusses the concept of elevator speeches. The idea being this is how you would explain Unitrain Universalism to a non UU in the short time an elevator spends between floors. In written form they serve as succinct defitions of UU-isms.

Below find elevator speeches contributed by HUUC members. If you have an elevator speech, let us know and we'll post it.

UUs are free to make their own decisions about spirituality and the world around us. We invite diversity within community, and work for an open society, respecting all people for their unique contributions.

UUs want to build a just world and a world which respects the health of our environment including others species and natural resources.

Unitarians and Universalists have Christian roots. The structure of our services would be familiar to Christians. Drawing on Christian and Jewish tradition, our services emphasize living a better life here on earth to contribute to a better world.

One side of the faith says that there's a single spirit of life, the x-factor that manifests itself universally. The other says that spirit is benign and accepts all. Thorugh an emphaisis on fairness, openess and tolerance we seek to grow a community to search for this spirit.
