We affirm the Principles and Purposes of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). We joyfully cultivate our spirits, and seek simplicity in our lives. We freely exchange ideas in a lifelong, honest, logical search for truth that informs the personal values upon which we base our actions.

We strive to treat others as we wish to be treated, and to expand principles of social justice to the wider community.

As we head into a new year complete with a presidential election, Rev. John Morehouse begins a five part series exploring what it means to be liberal in times such as these. Whether you are new to the Fellowship or wondering what Unitarianism is all about, this is for you. On the last Sunday of each month from January to May 2008, Rev. John will explore one of what James Luther Adams called the "Five Smooth Stones of Liberalism." Rev. John Morehouse is currently full time minister of Pacific Unitarian Church in Palos Verdes.
The Rev. John Morehouse will be visiting minister one Sunday a month at the South Bay Unitarian Fellowship (SBUF) and will offer a series of five sermons introducing and explaining liberal religion. Morehouse, full-time minister at Pacific Unitarian Church in Rancho Palos Verdes, will conduct SBUF services the last Sunday of the month in January, February, March, April and May. The five-part series will be based on James Luther Adams "Five Smooth Stones of Liberalism". The first sermon, at 11 a.m. Sunday, January 27 will be "A Faith Expansive." "As we head into a new year complete with a presidential election, I will be exploring what it means to be liberal in times such as these," said Morehouse. "If you're wondering what Unitarianism is all about, this is for you."
Rev. Morehouse is the recipient of several distinguished service awards in his career as a social activist and community leader and is widely regarded as one of the best preachers in his religious movement. As part of the service, he welcomes comments and question. SBUF is a lay-led fellowship. Its tradition includes people holding diverse views about God, the world, and humankind. Christians, Jews, Humanists and agnostics are among our current members. SBUF is committed to valuing people and encouraging their spiritual, ethical, and intellectual development, as well as making this world a better place.
