What is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism (UU) originates from liberal Christianity, an open-minded form of Christianity taking seriously the criticisms on traditional doctrines and the Bible by modern thoughts and science, and also appreciating other religions. Subsequently, with increasing inclusiveness towards world's religions and humanism, UU has evolved into a liberal religion, welcoming members of all faiths, as well as non-believers. According to a 2005 survey,* about half of the more than 200 000 adherents of the Unitarian Universalist Association in USA identified themselves as humanists, one-third called themselves agnostics, 18% are atheists, 17% Buddhists, Christians 13%. *Casebolt and Niekro, Some UUs Are More U than U: Theological Self-Descriptors Chosen by Unitarian Universalists, Review of Religious Research, Vol 46 No 3 (Mar 2005), pp235-242 |
甚麼是 Unitarian Universalism？
Unitarian Universalism (UU) 源出於基督宗教中的自由派，即基督宗教中思想較開明的一派，接納現代哲學思潮及科學發現對傳統教義及《聖經》的批判，肯定其他世界宗教的價值及地位。由於對世界宗教及人文主義的包容度不斷增加，UU 現已成為一個開明宗教，包容及歡迎任何信仰（或無信仰）人士參與。根據一項零五年的統計，在美國 UU 協會的廿多萬名會員中，有接近一半自稱人文主義者、三分一是不可知論者、18% 是無神論者、佛教徒佔 17% 、基督徒 13%。 |
