Unitarian Universalism Challenges and Opportunities Essence of Unitarian Universalism UU in Chinese? Faith Without Borders?

Many Traditions Three Themes Sources: Jewish and Christian, world religions, humanism, earth centered traditions, direct experiences of love, mystery, and wonder Three Themes 1. Individual worth and dignity 2. Interdependent web of all beings 3. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning

Both (Daoism and UU) share a philosophical view of seeing the world as a metaphysical reality with change and dynamism. Furthermore, both also share their deep respect for living in harmony with nature, and both recognize “the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”.
