Westside Unitarian Universalist Church is a religious community that supports each person’s unique path to spiritual growth. We gather to celebrate life and to support each other with respect and compassion. We seek to serve the larger community and to work for a just and environmentally responsible society. We welcome all people — without regard to age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation,or physical ability — to join with us in our free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

Our American roots go back to John Adams, Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. Our history can be traced to the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. Our members hold a variety of beliefs including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Atheism, Agnosticism, Paganism, Humanism, and more.

Sunday Services are held at 11 a.m. Sunday Services are led by UU Members, Guest Speakers, and our own Reverend Mitra Jafarzadeh. Topics reach beyond Religious Texts to include a rich variety of life’s concerns, addressed with intelligence, inspiration, and wit. Linger for coffee and conversation, then join the members and friends who gather for lunch at local restaurants (exact location is posted on the white board in the hallway).

There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote:

  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
  • The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
  • The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
  • Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Tolerating Tolerance

September 5th, 2010

Recently three different people who have spoken with me after church have brought up the same concern. The concern is that our society is becoming more intolerant of differences, especially differences in religion and especially Islam. This Sunday we will consider the value and limitations of tolerance.
