     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 WE SHARE DRAWS FROM MANY SOURCES:
     •Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, that 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 that 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 teaching that call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
     •Humanist teachings that counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
