Unitarian Universalist Church of East Aurora

First organized in 1955 for the purpose of providing liberal religious education for children and youth, the Unitarian Universalist Church of East Aurora met for many years in a house on Grey Street. In the fall and winter of 2003-2004, it built a sanctuary as an addition to the house at 94 Buffalo Road. This building is shown here, still under construction, shortly before the first service on Easter, 2004.

With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion -- that is, a religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves. We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed.
