Unitarians in Edinburgh

Never has the need been greater for spiritual sustenance and connection to enriching community. Ours is a community of spiritual explorers, rooted in values that affirm unity, inclusivity, and acceptance. Together we seek to co-create a world where everyone is respected, cherished, and loved.

Individually and collectively, we strive to live our shared values; to be kind to our self, each other, and to the earth; to live peacefully, joyfully, and in integrity; and to keep learning, loving, and growing.

We hold there are as many paths through life as there are people – and we help each other find our way. Together, we learn from ancient wisdom, philosophy, science, art and poetry. We pray, meditate, find stillness in nature. We work on a common cause. We pay attention to our inner life; to what we see as sacred, holy.

What's on at St Mark's

Services

‘Unitarians in Edinburgh – home for the open minded and tender hearted.’ Our doors are open to people from all backgrounds, including all faith backgrounds and none. Unitarianism is a non-doctrine religion. There are no prescriptions.

Groups

Bereavement and Support Group Grief may be caused by the death of a loved one, but it equally may be caused by the ending of a living relationship. The Poetry and Prose for Pleasure Group meet once monthly, presently on Saturday afternoons, to read and listen to poetry and prose.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is gently bringing our attention to the present moment, invoking our inherent capacity for healing and renewal. It is the basis for transforming ourselves and creating greater harmony in our lives and in society.

Get Married at St Mark's

“Unitarian ceremony can incorporate readings, music, blessings & promises from secular or religious sources. We regularly conduct ceremonies for those who are not members of any faith group, those who find their spirituality does not align with any particular religious philosophy, as well as those wishing to have a ceremony which acknowledges their differing faiths.”

Life Events

Unitarian ceremonies celebrate and commemorate life’s great events in a way that reflects the values and traditions of those taking part. Rites of passage which mark the cycle of life by honouring the birth, marriage and death of an individual can bring joy and comfort to friends and loved ones.

Weddings

Unitarians believe in the equality of all. We are aware that the traditional style of wedding may not be right for everyone, or how they wish to celebrate their relationship. When planning your marriage ceremony, it is important that the ceremony is relevant to you both, and reflect your relationship.

Venue Hire

“The venue – St Mark’s Unitarian Church on Castle Terrace – was totally compatible with the intimacy of the occasion. The appreciative audience thrilled to the warm ambience of the building.” — Kenneth Walton, Music Reviewer, The Scotsman
