Build Your Own Religion
About
Author Basil Bennett-Levy outlines the seven core values of Unitarian Universalism: (1) the inherent worth and dignity of every person, (2) justice, equity, and compassion in human relations, (3) acceptance of one another and encouragement of spiritual growth, (4) a free and responsible search for truth and meaning, (5) the right of conscience and the use of democracy, (6) the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all, and (7) respect for the interdependent web of all existence. According to Bennett-Levy, Unitarian Universalism offers freedom from the rigidity and traditionalism that typify some religious denominations. Members of Unitarian Universalist congregations do not all believe in the same set of truths, but instead are free to practice and explore their spirituality according to their own desires. Bennett-Levy makes an argument for organized religion, asserting that it offers accountability, exposure, and community. The zine ends with a list of Unitarian Universalist resources. — Alekhya
