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.

Join us in in learning about and celebrating the work of Seton House, our quarterly Care N Share program non-profit. Our UU Casper membership committee will co-lead this service along with guest Deanna Frey, executive director of Seton House. Seton House supports single-parent families in their journey to independence. It’s all about empowerment! “The move a family makes into their new apartment is the first step on the journey to a new life. While the apartment provides stability and foundation a one-on-one case management allows these families to then develop a clear and distinct path towards self-sufficiency.” Find out more at setonhousecasper.org.
