☛ love in what follows has the sense of metta, as in metta, karuna, mudita, upekkha (!?)*
let’s all agree to affirm and promote:
the inherent worth and dignity of everyone
justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
love for 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
love for the interdependent web of all existence that includes everyone
