We believe in our seven principles:

•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.

We draw 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.
