Unitarian Church of South Australia
Open Hearts
Open Minds
Welcome!
The Unitarian Church of South Australia, Inc., is a non-profit spiritual community affiliated with the worldwide Unitarian and Unitarian-Universalist free church movements. We are independent and entirely self-governed.
As a progressive and inclusive faith community, our principles are distilled from the essential values of all world religions, as well as the arts, sciences, and humanities.
These principles are a living document, subject to free individual interpretation, and are not a creed.
Our first principle affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We therefore welcome LGBTIQ+ people and affirm their equality in our community – in attendance, service and leadership.
Drop in one Sunday...
Come and join in one of our 10:30 AM Sunday service gatherings at 99 Osmond Terrace, Norwood. They last for about an hour and are followed by a social hour with coffee and tea provided.
The purpose of our gatherings is not to expound doctrine but to challenge you to deeper personal reflection, and stir you up to a more considered personal faith and more ethical living. There’s also some nice music — from classical, to Jazz, to R&B!
