About Westwood
Westwood is a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive community where people may experience freedom of religious thought, spiritual development, hope and inspiration. Westwood lives and shares Unitarian Universalist principles through spiritual growth, learning, social justice, care and compassion.
We believe that everyone has the right to seek truth and meaning for themselves. We acknowledge and respect the diversity of religions and beliefs of our members and friends including those who identify as non-theists, atheists, agnostics, free-thinkers and humanists.
The fundamental tools for defining our beliefs include:
- Our own life experience, our reflections upon it, our intuitive understanding and the promptings of our own conscience.
- Our Unitarian Universalist Principles & Sources are the basis for our religious and moral lives.
- We strive to fulfill our Purpose, Mission & Goals and to be good stewards for our organization and community.
