Unitarian Universalists do not require conformance to a creed, i.e., there is not one set of beliefs about God and spirituality that we recite each Sunday as something we all believe. Instead, each person is encouraged in a life-long search for spiritual truth. However, there are Seven Principles that we affirm and promote (Source: Unitarian Universalist Association, http://www.uua.org/visitors/6798.shtml). I refer to these principles in my sermon. -Amy Polk
* First Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person
* Second Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
* Third Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
* Fourth Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
* Fifth Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
* Sixth Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
* Seventh Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
