Children
& Teens
A Children's Version of Our
Covenant
We, the
members of the Unitarian Universalist Church, believe
that
- all people are
important;
- we should be kind and
fair;
- we should accept other people
and help them to grow;
- we should figure out for
ourselves what is true and good;
- we should do what our
consciences tell us is right;
- people should have a voice
and a vote about things that concern them;
- we should work for peace and
freedom everywhere and try to make the world one
family;
- we should take care of the
earth which gives us life.
In our
church we learn from and get our beliefs from many
sources:
- our own sense of the wonder
of life;
- the Jewish and Christian
religions and many other religions from around the
world;
- earth-centered religions
which celebrate life and teach us to live in harmony with
nature;
- knowledge gained by people
through science and reason;
- the lives of people who have
worked to make the world a better place;
- our thoughts and
experiences.
We are glad
we can come together to help and support each other in our efforts
to grow and live good lives.
