| We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), covenant to affirm and promote: |
| |
| The inherent dignity and worth of every person; |
| | |
| Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; |
| | |
| Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregation; |
| | |
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; |
| | |
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregation and all society; |
| | |
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 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
that 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 that inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life; |
| | |
| Jewish and Christian teachings that call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;/FONT> |
| | |
Humanist teachings that counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us of idolatries of the mind and
spirit; |
| | |
Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions that celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live with the rhythms of
nature; |
| | |
Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. |
| | |
As free congregations we enter into this covenant,
promising to one another our mutual trust and support. |
