What does it mean to be Unitarian Universalist?

In the second sermon in our Questioning series, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald continues answering questions submitted by our members and friends. This time we explore topics including history, identity, values, and evolving traditions of Unitarian Universalism.

Questions explored include:

How does covenant work at our church?
When did the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) begin, and how is it doing today?
What is the relationship between First Unitarian Church of Dallas and the wider UU movement?
When did Unitarian Universalism become an LGBTQ-affirming faith?
How much do we teach traditional Jewish and Christian values?
What does it mean to learn from religious traditions while also allowing them to evolve?
What makes Unitarian Universalism a movement rather than simply a denomination?

These questions give us the opportunity to consider what holds a diverse faith community together.
