  • 1st Principle

    The inherent worth and dignity of every person;

  • 2nd Principle

    Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;

  • 3rd Principle

    Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;

  • 4th Principle

    A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;

  • 5th Principle

    The right of conscience and the use of democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;

  • 6th Principle

    The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;

  • 7th Principle

    Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
