Living Our UU Principles
Lisa Rubin, DRE
First UU Society, Burlington, VT

We covenant to affirm and promote:

  1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
    UU kids and adults are special people.
  2. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
    UU kids deserve your attention.
  3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
    UU kids and adults grow and learn together in RE.
  4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
    UU adults are the leaders who help guide our children on their faith journeys.
  5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
    UU kids deserve to be part of today's and tomorrow's Unitarian Universalism and help shape the world in which they live.
  6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
    Unitarian Universalism isn't just for adults; there are ____ children in our congregation, and they need you!
  7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
    You affect the lives of this congregation's children. How do you choose to affirm their worth and dignity?
