In being a member we hold as valuable the Principles and Purposes adopted by the Unitarian Universalist Association.       Covenants - Unitarian Universalist Principles and Purposes A true religion knows no barriers of race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, religion or class, and no exclusions through a creed ... as no one is good enough to be master of another, so no one is wise enough to bind another in belief. Hence, and as a free congregation, we enter into this covenant, promising to one another, and to humanity, our mutual acceptance, trust and support. We affirm and promote... The inherent worth and dignity of every person; Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; Acceptance of one another and encouragement    to spiritual growth; A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; The right of conscience and the use of the democratic    process; The goal of world community with peace, liberty and    justice for all; Respect for the interdependent web of all existence,    of which we are all a part. © Unitarian Fellowship of the Cowichan Valley, Duncan BC, 2004 ©;    web site by Aantaris Web Design
