Shrewsbury Unitarians

Shrewsbury Unitarians Nurturing faith, embracing life, celebrating difference.

An open, diverse spiritual community in the heart of Shrewsbury encouraging freedom of thought and spiritual exploration since 1662. We believe that:
- Everyone has the right to seek truth and meaning for themselves.
- The fundamental tools for doing this are your life experiences, your reflection upon it, your intuitive understanding and the promptings of your own conscience.
- The best setting f

or this is a community that welcomes you for who you are, complete with your beliefs, doubts and questions.
- In the spirit of civil and religious liberty, equality of respect and opportunity is for everyone. We can be called religious ‘liberals’:
- Religious because we unite to celebrate and affirm values that embrace and reflect a greater reality than self.
- Liberal because we claim no exclusive revelation or status for ourselves.
- We afford respect and toleration to those who follow different paths of faith. We are called ‘Unitarians’:
- Because of our traditional insistence on divine unity, the oneness of God.
- Because we affirm the essential unity of humankind and of creation.

We begin at 6pm at Shrewsbury Unitarians on the High Street, next to Beefy Boys and hope this will be the first of our Wheel of the Year Sunday Evening Gatherings. Its free to attend and there'll be plenty of refreshments after.

What you'll get from popping into our Meanderings sessions each Tuesday:

✅New ideas or thoughts to reflect on, with short readings, poems and quotes to inspire and consider.
✅New perspectives to think about on themes like hope, resilience and community.
✅A place to help you make sense of how to stay grounded in these difficult times.
✅An opportunity to connect with others who are also figuiring out how to stay grounded in these difficult times!
✅A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere around small tables where we reflect, share and explore over a cuppa
✅A spiritually Curious rather than relgious gathering, where we draw our inspiration from everywhere from Buddha and the Bible to Doctor Who to Bowie to Emily Bronte to Darwin (of course!)
✅Space to reflect or chat, you are welcome to share if you want to or just listen if you prefer - there's no pressure, no expectations.
