We teach our kids that we are the church of the open
mind, the loving heart, and the helping hands <g>.

Association website: www.uua.org - you might find the
FAQ to be helpful.
this is from the 'Principles and Purposes' page -
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 which 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
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.
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.
peace,
