Other Occasions

Make It Your Day

The degree of freedom permitted to Unitarian ministers, and to Unitarians in general, means that beliefs and practices vary considerably. However, ministers are usually willing to consider other ceremonies which mark significant occasions in people's lives. Here at Tenterden, we will consider facilitating rededication of marriage, a coming of age celebration, a blessing of same sex union or friendship, separation when two people decide to part amicably and other ceremonies that mark lesser, but nonetheless significant moments in life like moving home or retirement.

In all these situations Unitarian practice starts from human needs rather than fixed religious ideas, but the ceremonies which result are often in their preparation and enactment, deeply spiritual and memorable, being firmly based on the integrity and compassion of the Celebrant and the deep needs of those for whom the service is conducted.

If you think that a Unitarian Celebrant may be the best person to serve you on one of these highly important occasions, please get in touch with our Secretary on 07583 219082 or email dcdownunder@gmail.com.
