Core tenet of Unitarian Universalism
No creed — a covenant.
Seven principles, from the inherent worth of every person to respect for the interdependent web — affirmed, not sworn.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal rather than creedal religion: members promise to walk together and to affirm certain principles about how to treat one another, without agreeing on the nature of God, the afterlife, or scripture. Congregations include Christians, humanists, pagans, Buddhists, and atheists. The standing internal question is whether a religion can cohere on ethics and process alone, and UUs debate it openly and constantly.
