"St. Patrick, the Druids, and Unitarian Universalists"
With Holley Ulbrich
As we approach the Irish version of the Celtic holiday Ostara (vernal equinox), it is a good opportunity to consider the common ground we Unitarian Universalists share with our Celtic forebears.
Our covenant:
To dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth with freedom,
And to care for one another.
We are a progressive spiritual community that celebrates a tolerant and thoughtful search for spiritual meaning. Whatever your age, gender, social background, orientation, gender identity or ethnic origin, you are welcome here. We hope you will find a home with us.
Our principles:
We 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.
-
Journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
