| We, as do all 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.
