The Congregation
We have members who consider themselves Liberal Christians, as well as members who see themselves as Religious Humanists, Pantheists, Agnostics, Atheists and a whole range of other views. As the only Unitarian Church in the country, we see it as our goal to try to encourage all kinds of Unitarian Ideologies. However, the trend seems to be moving towards a broader perspective, with Christianity becoming less significant. There also seem to be a growing interest in the concept of reincarnation in Scandinavia; this interest is reflected in our church as well.
To us, anyone is a Unitarian who demands the right to think for him or herself, and grants the same right to others. We strongly feel that if we all saw things the same way, we would no longer be Unitarians. We promote a free and responsible search for "truth" and meaning, where each person is responsible to his or her own conscience and his or her concept of "God" or "The Divine". We believe that all religious works are human attempts to explain the unexplainable, and should be seen as such. However, we also believe that elements of great value can be found in the teachings of all religions, as well as in many other places, such as scientific works, literature and art. We, therefore, refuse to limit our search according to any outward authority.
We value personal growth as well as personal and global responsibility. We try to include all possible theoretical sources from different cultures and time-periods. We value learning from everyone we meet, each other, new members, Guest Speakers and debates of all kinds. We try to provide a range of activities, and are pleased to ad new ones as we get members with different interests. As long as we can find people who are willing and able to handle these.
Our bimonthly publication, UNITAREN (The Unitarian), is available only in Danish.
