![]() There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations 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. Unitarian Universalism (UU) 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; * 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. These principles and sources of faith are the backbone of our religious community. We are a WELCOMEING Congregation As Unitarian Universalists, we covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity, and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another. To this end we, the members of the Congregation, declare our desire to become an official Welcoming Congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association. The Leone Unitarian Universalist Congregation is an open and affirming community of faith, a Welcoming Congregation. We affirm the rich complexity of creation, which includes every person and many forms of family. We welcome into our community persons of all ethnicities, nationalities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, physical and mental limitations, economic and family circumstances, and faith backgrounds. We commit ourselves to the defense of the spiritual, civic, and human rights of all people, and to the promotion of their well being in our congregation and communities. |
