We are a community of diverse beliefs united by our Unitarian Universalist faith and our common desire to make this world a better place. With historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism includes atheists, agnostics and theists; humanists, Christians and Buddhists, and followers of the earth-centered traditions.
Our Principles:
We, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mountain Home, covenant to
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 congregation
* A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
* The right of conscience and the use of the democratic
process within our congregation 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 or
which we are a part.
_______________________________________________
The living tradition we share 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
* Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves
* 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.
