This year the UU Fellowship of WS is celebrating 75 years!
We cultivate curious minds, compassionate hearts, and courageous actions in service of a more just and loving world.
…It all started with an ad
In 1951 an ad from the American Unitarian Association appeared in the Winston-Salem Journal asking: “Are you a Unitarian without knowing it?” The ad suggested that you might be a Unitarian if you believe that:
- The Bible is an inspiring human document but not the literal word of God.
- People are not condemned by “original sin” but are inherently capable of improvement.
- Development of character is more important than accepting religious creeds.
- The purpose of religion is to help us live this life well, rather than prepare for an afterlife.
The people who responded to the ad soon formed a Unitarian Society and began meeting for informal, lay-led discussions exploring religion, the arts, philosophy and social issues.
Take a look at what has happened since then…
