With
historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian
Universalism is a liberal religion that keeps an open mind about the
religious questions people have always struggled to resolve. We affirm
the dignity of all persons, and we believe that personal experience,
conscience, and reason should be the final authorities in the search
for truth. Member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist
Association covenant to affirm and promote the
Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism
- 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
Nurturing the human spirit
for a world made whole.
