De quoi s'agit-il
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion characterized by our free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Thus it is not a religion that tells you what to believe, how to behave, or what God is, but rather strives to encourage its members to answer these questions in their own unique ways. Some say that we are a reformed church that never stopped reforming. We are supported by resources from the Unitarian Universalist Association, European Unitarian Universalists, and the Church of the Larger Fellowship as well as many individual churches and leaders around the world.
In Switzerland, there are UU groups in Geneva and Basel. In Bern, we are not (at this point) forming another congregation, but rather have created a Chalice Circle, that is a small group of individuals who gather once per month. Usually one person sets a theme, chooses an opening and a closing reading, and hosts the meeting. The others are invited to bring questions, songs, thoughts, objects, reading, images, or anything else to create a collective spiritual space. The service is a mix of discussion, silence, listening, and reflection in an improvisational format. No one is required to do anything besides respect the other members but everyone is invited to contribute to and help shape the service. Up until now, we have held all of our services in English, but multilingualism is welcome. We are currently working our way through the UU principles, below, to create a foundation of a shared understanding.
