A. Powell Davies, long time minister of All Souls Church Unitarian in Washington, DC.
"Let no one say that it is difficult to know what Unitarianism is, or that it contains no areas of agreement. It is the most affirmative of religions, the boldest in its claims, and the widest in its outreach and inclusiveness.
Instead of a creed, it agrees to follow the living truth, and sets its people free to do so. Instead of ritual pieties, it asks devotion to the deeds that make the world righteous and its people just.
It separates itself from no company of believers, whether Christian or otherwise, except as they deny its claim for freedom. It asks no wide dominion for its institution; only liberty of access for its faith. It trusts that, in the years before us, Unitarian freedom will be claimed in all denominations, all communions; and meanwhile, it must humbly do its best to lead the way."
