2007-2008 Religious Education Program
Exploring the Principles
This year, the Oberlin Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will be teaching a curricula based on the seven principles of our faith. Exploring the Principles will present seven units, each five weeks long, that will focus on each of the seven Unitarian Universalist principles. Through a series of in gatherings and small group classes, the children will learn about the principles through stories, games, art, music and drama. The seven principles will be discussed using the revised versions created in the Time Travels curriculum. These principles are:
| We, the members congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:
1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
In other words, we believe that each and every person is important.
2. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
In other words, we believe that all people should be treated fairly.
3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
In other words, we believe that our churches are places where all people are accepted and where we all keep on learning together.
4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
In other words, we believe that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
In other words, we believe that everyone should have a voice about the things that concern him or her.
6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all;
In other words, we believe in working for a peaceful, fair and free world.
7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
In other words, we believe in caring for our planet Earth. (and all the creatures that inhabit it) |
