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.
