Unitarian Universalist Principles and Purposes
Unitarian Universalism does not have a mandatory set of beliefs or a restrictive creed. Each member is free to seek religious and spiritual development according to the dictates of conscience and intellect.
As a member fellowship of the Unitarian Universalist Association, the San Marcos Unitarian Universalist Fellowship promotes The Principles and Purposes of the Unitarian Universalist Association in our Fellowship life and in our individual lives.
Unitarian Universalist Principles and Purposes:
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.
With historical roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition, our liberal religion keeps an open mind to the spiritual questions people have asked for centuries. We are a "non-creedal" congregation, which means that we seek religious truth through personal experience, conscience and reason -- not from any book or religious authority.
We regard the highest values to be integrity, caring, compassion, social justice, truth, personal peace and harmony. |
