When we meet together for worship we express our thanks for the uplifting and joyous experiences of life; we assert our belief that there is meaning in the Universe: that our ideals are not delusions; we confess our failure to live up to our highest ideals of goodness, truth and beauty; we make resolutions to serve these ideals more faithfully in the days to come; and above all, we look to strengthen our faith and to deepen our knowledge, wisdom and love, that we may live better lives. (adapted from the former Trim Street Unitarian Chapel, Bath).

The traditions and principles of our Christian heritage are central to the Unitarian ethos, but there are no defined creeds, truths or beliefs, each person being encouraged to think for themselves. Worship can embrace Biblical, other spiritual, and secular themes, through which we may explore and celebrate the wonder and mystery of all life and creation, consider awareness of God, and seek inspiration to guide our thoughts,words and actions.

Crewkerne Unitarian Church	Services Sundays 11am	Hermitage Street, Crewkerne, Somerset TA18 8ES Contact: Alan Burbage 01460 72115
As Unitarians the principles of freedom, reason and tolerance are important to us in the quest for truth, searching together as we do for purpose and meaning in life. Thus we are committed to civil and religious liberty for every individual. We recognise that religion is wider than any sect and deeper than any set of opinions. Change is an essential element in our liberal religion, and we welcome the challenge of new ideas.

There are many people who cannot accept religious dogma. Yet they have a faith - arising from experience - which longs to be acknowledged and strengthened. Unitarians are such people. Many people are Unitarians without ever having heard of the Unitarian Church. Perhaps you are one. It is a Church which recognises the deeply personal nature of belief. It holds that, while no one knows what God is, this need not commit us to a secular society. Also, that there are many sources of truth and that belief may change over time.
