Unitarian Universalists celebrate their individuality and
search for truth in many different ways and on many different
paths. It is seldom that we agree on the details but, much
to our surprise, we have found that there are some basic
principles on which we generally agree. Of course we often
see these principles in different ways and with various
degrees of belief. It is with great delight that we learn
new ways of understanding them as we meet new friends with
different experiences...or old friends with new experiences.
The denominational principles that we currently "affirm"
are listed below. We may agree to change them later...or
add to them. We do not think they are carved in stone nor
in any way divinely inspired. For the time being, however,
we think that these are pretty good.
We 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.
