The Principles of the Unitarian Universalist
Association
We, the member congregations of
the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote
 |
The
inherent worth and dignity of every person;
|
|
Justice,
equity and compassion in human relations;
|
|
Acceptance
of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
|
|
A free
and responsible search for truth and meaning;
|
|
The
right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in
society at large;
|
|
The
goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; |
Respect for the interdependent web
of all existence of which we are a part;
|
The
living tradition which we share draws from many sources:
|
|
Direct
experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves
us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
|
|
Words
and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures
of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
|
|
Wisdom
from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
|
|
Jewish
and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as
ourselves;
|
|
Humanist
teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of
science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
|
|
Spiritual
teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and
instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. |
