We come together to maintain an inclusive fellowship which welcomes all men and women of goodwill, without regard to differences of race, gender, background, sexual preferences or theological beliefs.       Who Are the Unitarians? We respect the insights that have been expressed within all the great religions of the world, because we believe that truth is to be discovered through free inquiry and mutual understanding. We regard the right of the human mind to follow the light of reason. We revere all the good that the past has brought us, and we continue to explore so that our faith is always a new adventure in growth and understanding. For more of an insight into what Unitarians are all about, here is a list of notable American Unitarians.Harvard Square Library This on-line project of the First Parish and the First Church in Cambridge (Unitarian Universalist) is based on research concerning some representative women and men who made significant contributions to life in the quarter century 1936-1961, and includes a comprehensive biography of the people listed (click on their name).
