Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion, with its roots in Christian and Jewish traditions. By liberal, we mean a religion that keeps an open mind to questions about purpose and meaning in our lives—questions people have grappled with for thousands of years. We seek answers to these questions in personal experience, conscience, and reason. These, we believe, should be the final authorities for truth, rather than a particular person, book, or institution.
We share common ground with other Unitarian Universalist congregations. Together, we affirm and promote these Shared Values that guide our exploration of life’s great questions:
Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
All of which are centered around Love.
These values can be remembered with a handy mnemonic: JETPIG! Each letter of the word JETPIG corresponds to each of our values that surrounds Love.
J for Justice
E for Equity
T for Transformation
P for Pluralism
I for Interdependence
G for Generosity
You can envision a pig wearing a jetpack powered by love, if you prefer remembering images!
