"Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious tradition that affirms: the unity of Nature (while eschewing supernaturalism); the dignity of human nature; discipleship to advancing truth; the authority of individual conscience tempered by reason; an ethics based on respect for human welfare and freedom, and the sustainability of the natural order; democracy as the basis for the social and economic order; the cultivation of individual character; the covenanted religious community; and the redemption of the world though human effort. Unitarian Universalism blends two historic streams of liberal religious thought, rooted in Christianity: Unitarianism, which affirmed the oneness of God and the humanity of Jesus, and Universalism, which affirmed the universality of human salvation."
