Scripture of Unitarian Universalism

Six Sources, no canon.

Unitarian Universalism lists where wisdom comes from rather than fixing what it says: personal experience, prophets, world religions, Jewish and Christian teachings, humanism, and earth-centered traditions.

What it holdsNo canon — six named Sources, from direct experience to humanist teachings
How it is usedReadings in worship draw from scripture, poetry, and science without rank
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

The six Sources name where UUs look for wisdom: direct experience of transcending mystery, the words of prophetic people, world religions, Jewish and Christian teachings, humanist reason, and earth-centered traditions. Listing sources rather than fixing a canon is the structural choice that makes the rest possible, and it means a UU service may draw on Rumi, Darwin, and a Wendell Berry poem in the same hour.
