According to their web site, the First Unitarian Church of Portland strives to "create a welcoming community of diverse individuals; to promote love, reason and freedom in religion; to foster lifelong spiritual growth; and to act for social justice... Our passion stems from deeply held convictions that move us to seek meaning and relationship. As a spiritual community, and as people who choose to follow their spiritual path in genuine and meaningful ways, we yearn for a world that's transformed. We recognize that faith without works is empty."[1]
