A basic principle of our Unitarian Universalist denomination is freedom of religious belief. We do not require assent to a particular institutional creed or statement of faith for membership. We hold that all persons have an obligation to seek out personal religious truth and to follow that truth wherever it leads. We exist to offer a warm, open, supportive community. We want to provide a place where individuals can meet and find accepting and understanding friends. We look to each other for intellectual stimulation and emotional support through all the stages and difficulties of life. We affirm the worth of human beings. We trust people's ability to build their own faith. We believe that people should be encouraged to think for themselves. We agree that people will differ in their opinions and life styles and feel that these differences should generally be honored -- for each person is the final source of authority on his or her own life. We seek to act as a moral force in the world, believing that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion. The here and now, and the effects that our actions will have on future generations are what deeply concern us. We seek to promote one universal humanity undivided by nation, race or creed, with allegiance to the cause of a united world community. We know that we often fail to live up to these ideals, but unite in the hope, that working together, we may come closer to realizing them. |
