Seven Unitarian Universalist Principles

We affirm and promote:

  2. justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
  3. acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
  4. a free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  5. the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
  6. the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
  7. respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

  3. Yearn to learn by caring and encouraging.

  5. Believe what your heart tells you, yet listen to others.
  6. Insist on peace and justice for the whole world.
  7. Value the interdependent web of life of which we are a part.
