- My Beliefs about the Meaning of Easter One of the unique characteristics of Unitarian Universalists is that individuals are encouraged to develop their own individual beliefs and principles within the big tent of commonly held beliefs of all Unitarian Universalists. That being the case, it is impossible to talk about what all UUs believe about Easter. This Sunday, March 31, Reverend Ed Brock will share his beliefs about Easter. He thinks Unitarian Universalists have every reason to be excited about Easter and that Easter symbolizes something important about the human spirit and the indispensability of hope.

Act responsibly even when other people act irresponsibly. 3. Create win-win solutions. 4. Always take full responsibility for your words, actions, and reactions. 5. Be kind to everyone for each person carries a hidden burden. 6. Focus on facts rather than assumptions, imagination, fantasy, or emotionally driven thinking. 7.
