Sources of Wisdom for Unitarian Universalism:
The living tradition which 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.
