Our UU Principles & Beliefs

We, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Waco, 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.

Mission Statement:
'We are a haven for a diverse community that values inquiry over dogma and seeks spiritual and personal growth, fellowship, and a more just world.'

We welcome you to join us at UU Waco!
