about us
|
The Wider
Fellowship serves those, who are unable to participace in the life
of our regular congregations. Regardless of place of residence, the
CBF offers a spiritual home to all who are interested.
|
Whether you live in the Czech Republic
or anywhere else in the world, the WF offers you inspiration to
make your life richer. Being a Unitarian is a life philosophy and
spiritual path open to people of many different views. Because many
of us cannot take part in the life of our regular congregations,
they participace in the life of the Wider
Fellowship. The WF makes it possible for them to find and keep
regular contacts. Whether your reasons for not being able to go to a
Unitarian Church, are those of health, distance or any others, the
Unitarian fellowship is open to you. In the words of Richard
Gilbert:
|
We bid you welcome, who come with
weary spirit seeking rest.
Who come with troubles that are too much for you,
Who come hurt and afraid.
We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart.
Who come with anticipation in your step,
Who come proud and joyous.
We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith.
Who come to probe and explore.
Who come to learn.
We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming,
Who have found here room for your spirit.
Who find in this people a family.
Whoever you are, whatever you are,
Wherever you are on your journey,
We bid you welcome. |
Our life as a Unitarian community is
guided by the principles adopted by the 2004 Council of the Religious
Society of Czech Unitarians:
|
1. Freedom of conscience and faith
2. Tolerance and understanding of others
3. Using critical reason in religion
4. Harmonious development of personality
5. Compassion, equality, and justice in human relations
6. Respect for dignity and worth of every person
7. Helping others and social responsibility
8. Respect for life and nature
9. Democratic way of organization |
Please learn more about Unitarian
principles and Unitarians on the website of the
Religious Society of
Czech Unitarians. We will be happy to share more with you about
Unitarian spirituality, history, way of life, and any other areas that
might be of interest to you.
Because of the great geographic distance among us, the WF uses the
Internet and e-mail for communication, forums, and an exchange of views
and life experience. Wherever possible, we offer programs and
occasional or regular meetings in the place of residence of our
members.
