The Unitarian Universalist Society of Fairhaven, Massachusetts Graph of This Particular Congregation's Religious Beliefs The members of a Unitarian Universalist congregation will have a variety of beliefs amongst its members. Following is a page taken from the survey of the congregation taken in the year 2000 when we were about to begin the search for a new minister who would be attracted to our diverse beliefs. Notice that we identified statements that expressed our beliefs not the labels. If you like our expressed religious sentiments, we are sure you will like our services and our community. Our services are at 10:30 am on a Sunday and we hope you will visit us. Call our Minister, Rev. Ann Fox, if you want to know more about us or want to attend our next Unitarian Universalist Orientation meeting.
