The Seven Principles
Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote:
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process
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
These principles guide how we relate to each other and the world—rooted in love, openness, and responsibility.
UUA Core Values (UUA Bylaws, Article II, revised 2024)
The revised Article II emphasizes foundational values that grow from and deepen our covenant with one another. These values are:
Love – The central value that holds all the others together. We are called to love ourselves, each other, and the world.
Justice – We work toward equity and liberation for all.
Interdependence – We honor the sacred web of life and our place within it.
Equity – We strive to dismantle systemic barriers and create inclusive communities.
Transformation – We welcome change and growth, both personal and collective.
Pluralism – We value diverse beliefs, cultures, and voices as sources of wisdom.
Generosity – We practice gratitude, compassion, and a spirit of mutual care.
Together, these principles and values call us into deeper relationship—with each other, with our communities, and with the world. They are not static beliefs, but living commitments we strive to embody each day.

In this Earth Day Service, we will explore our 7th Principle, the interconnected web of all existence of which we are a part. We inhale, and exhale, again and again countless times every day. Inhale…at what point does air become breath? Exhale…when does breath become simply air? We are of the earth, and the earth is in us. “What we do to each other and to our world, we do to ourselves.” During this service we’ll explore that statement, and the ambiguity and paradox we face when we try to apply it in our day to day lives when we try to figure out how to live in ways that respect the interdependent web of all existence, and when we try to figure out ways to help protect our precious earth.
