CUC & NEIGHBOURS
The Unitarian Congregation of Niagara is just one of the many congregations in the Southern Ontario and Western New York regions. Unitarianism is a congregational faith and as such congregations are independent of each other but are responsible for helping each other in a caring network. To view the congregations that are physically in our neighbourhood go to this page §.
Caring for Other Congregations - A Core Value
Newcomers to the Unitarian faith are often surprised that the church is not ruled by bishops and priests, nor is it ruled by a collection of elders. Rule by elders and synods is called Presbyterianism.
Early adherents to what became the Unitarian church were so worried about the evils of Presbyterianism that that they left England in 1620 and founded what became New England to avoid it. For more information on this topic (the Puritan Reformation and Exodus to America) go to the faith history web page §. Without a dedicated priesthood or controlling hierarchy to maintain inter-congrgational relationships, it was up to the individual congregations to maintain their connectedness. Thus interacting with other congregations has been a significant part of the practice of our faith for over three hundred and eighty years.
