Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal “living faith” rooted in relationship and love. This means we emphasize shared values over doctrine or dogma. In June 2024, after a democratic and open process, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations adopted an updated statement of our shared values.

Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:

• Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.

• Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.

• Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.

• Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.

• Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.

• Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
