UNITARIANISM.

Can Unitarianism aid World Peace?

FREEDOM, REASON AND TOLERANCE.

Unitarianism is an open-minded and welcoming approach to faith that encourages individual freedom, equality for all and rational thought. There is no list of things that Unitarians must believe: instead we think everyone has the right to reach their own conclusions.

We see different opinions and lifestyles as valuable and enriching, and don’t discriminate on grounds of gender age, race, religion or sexual orientation. Although Unitarianism has its roots in Jewish and Christian traditions it is open to insights from all faiths, science, the arts, the natural world and everyday living.

Unitarians characteristically:

base beliefs on rational enquiry rather than external authority;
accept beliefs can change in the light of new understanding and insight;
form principles from conscience, thinking and life experiences;
hold reverence for the earth and the whole natural system of which we are part.
We welcome anyone with an open mind who shares our tolerant and inclusive views, who embraces the freedom of being in a faith community that doesn’t impose creeds or specific beliefs, and who bases their approach not on dogma but on reason.

Come, that I may teach you about
secrets no person has ever seen.
For there exists a great and boundless realm,
whose extent no generation of angels has seen,
in which there is a great invisible Spirit,
which no eye of an angel has ever seen,
no thought of the heart has ever comprehended,
and it was never called by any name.

This new Bible shall be written
On the hearts of all mankind,
Not by pen or book,
But by acts of Love.
For to Love as She does
Is to truly know who He is.
The unchanged truth is eternal life
For all, without exception.
For no longer do we wander lost in the Word,
But live the word in eternal life.

Walk softly upon the earth.
May its beauty forever surround you,
its wonders forever astound you.

May its wisdom delight you,
its music invite you
to dance and to play and to sing.

May you love and be loved by all that you meet;
may you know and practice compassion.

Rejoice in the earth and in all of creation.
Rejoice in life.

This sounds as if I am reading some gnostic scriptures and to be honest, I was really impressed by their writings and it made sense to me. In the early years of the christian church, from what I've read, they tried to destroy everything related with the gnostic beliefs, even the people.

The link you provided does not bring up the information you posted.

The actual link is : https://www.unitarian.org.uk/pages/u...nism-explained

Interestingly, Unitarianism does not believe in the Trinity. They are not necessary pacifist but generally do not believe in war.

        Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.

In the skin at the tips of our fingers
we see the trail of the wind;
it shows us the wind blew
when our ancestors were created.

They might have tried but they didn't succeed What they wanted was sheep who followed without questioning, but we are still here....

WELL? Maybe they are not done yet! Jeez, give it time, give it time. The world wasn't created in a day. That's the problem now days, everybody expects instant gratification. Anyway, there have to be some left behind or what will the four horseman have to mop up.
