At Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarians, we welcome all who seek the meaning of life, and who believe that human spirituality is wider than any one tradition, and deeper than any one set of opinions. With a respect for our Christian origins, we now seek to explore all possible truths from all possible sources. Our fellowship gives us strength and encouragement in daily living.
