The basic philosophy of Unitarian Universalist churches and fellowships is
reflected in the following statements:
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.
