Peace Prayers in Unitarian Universalism
Unitarian Universalism (UU) is a liberal religious movement that emphasizes individual spiritual growth, inclusivity, and social justice. It emerged from the merger of Unitarianism and Universalism in 1961. Key aspects include:
- Diverse Beliefs: UUs draw from various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and humanism, encouraging personal exploration of faith.
- Seven Principles: These guide ethical living and include respect for the inherent worth and dignity of every person, justice, equity, compassion in human relations, and respect for the interdependent web of all existence.
- No Creed: There is no required set of beliefs or creed; instead, members are encouraged to seek their own spiritual path.
- Social Justice: A strong focus on activism and social justice issues such as civil rights, environmental sustainability, and equality.
Unitarian Universalism promotes a free and responsible search for truth and meaning, fostering a community where diverse beliefs are respected and celebrated.

Peace prayers in Unitarian Universalism emphasize inclusive, non-denominational reflections that promote harmony, understanding, and compassion among all people.

Albert Schweitzer: Prayer for Peace
Albert Schweitzer, though a lifelong Lutheran, accepted a honorary membership with the Unitarian Universalist Church in 1962.
“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not find himself peace.”
