Humility  --  Mercy  --  Justice

What it means to our congregation to be Unitarian Universalist

​

Here at St. Paul’s, our roots are deep in the Universalist tradition of God’s Grace and unqualified love for all people, as displayed by the life and sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth.  Our roots have over the years grown into a flowering and fruiting whose message is beautifully represented by the words of the prophet Micah, who proclaimed “He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”  The Sermon on the Mount, which includes the beatific words, “Blessed are they who show mercy, for mercies will be upon them. Blessed are those who are pure in their hearts, for they shall see God. Blessed are they who make peace, for they will be called the children of God”, is the heart spring of our mission at St. Paul’s.

Like other U.U.s, we may be diverse in faith and spirituality, but are one in our desire to bring peace, joy and love into the world. We do not strive to think perfectly alike. Rather we embrace the reality that we are people of contrasting beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who may not, and people who let the mystery just be. We welcome you, your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries, and your hopes.
