TRUU is not currently
affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association, but members are in
sympathy with its
Principles and Purposes
The Principles of the Unitarian
Universalists Association
We, the member congregations of the Unitarian
Universalists
Association, covenant to affirm and promote
The inherent dignity and worth 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.
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.
