How does the Unitarian Universalist Association view the concept of divinity?

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is a liberal religious organization that promotes individual spiritual growth and encourages a diversity of beliefs. Unlike traditional monotheistic religions that believe in one God, UUA does not have a shared set of beliefs about the nature of divinity. In general, UUAs view the concept of divinity as a personal and subjective experience that can take different forms.

Many UUAs believe in a higher power or energy that exists within the universe and all living things. Some believe in a divine being or multiple divine beings that are not necessarily supernatural or anthropomorphic. Others reject the concept of divinity altogether and focus on humanist principles that prioritize reason, ethics, and social justice.

The UUA does not require adherence to a specific doctrine or creed, but rather encourages a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This approach allows individuals to explore and develop their own beliefs about divinity based on their personal experiences and insights.
