Our church is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association, whose by laws state, in part, these principles:
We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to 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 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
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
The living tradition 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.
The mission of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fargo-Moorhead
is to provide to its members, and to the community, an environment of religious
tolerance, a loving fellowship of diversity, an open forum for the exchange
of social, political, and moral ideas and values, and a religious home for spiritual
growth without fear of reprisal.
We are a Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation that seeks to be a spiritual
home for people of free faith regardless of race, color, gender, affectional
or sexual orientation, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, physical
or mental ability.
