Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
A UU congregation is self-governing and calls its own minister; the Unitarian Universalist Association serves rather than governs. Membership is by signing the book, with no examination of belief. Congregations tend to be small, highly educated, and disproportionately active in social justice work, and the movement's persistent internal criticism is that its demographics have remained far narrower than its stated commitments.
