- 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 neighbours as ourselves
- Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against the idolatries of 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

More detailed information about Our Principles and other aspects of Unitarianism is available at the Canadian Unitarian Council's Newcomers' Page and in the Wikipedia.
For newcomers, long-timers, those who are simply curious, and those who are considering becoming members of this church, we offer a session entitled "Introduction to Unitarianism and Universalism." Please check the Adult Programs page for the next date when this session will be offered.
If you would like to become a member of our congregation, we ask that you attend the "Intro to UU" session and then meet with the minister. We are a community that believes in deeds, not creeds - we hope you'll join us!
For further information, please contact Rev. Meg Roberts (230-8939).
