*The Unitarian Universalist Association is in the middle of a process to potentially incorporate some version of this statement into the UU Principles. During this interim period, UUCF is one among a growing number of UU congregations who have committed to living out this proposed 8th Principle at the congregational level. For more information, visit 8thprincipleuu.org. Sources
Unitarian Universalism 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.

Dilley Detention Center National UU Action Hour - Wednesday, January 28th (10 PT/ 11 MT / 12 CT / 1 ET). Join UUs across the country for a virtual action hour in solidarity with the children and families currently detained at the Dilley Detention Center in South Texas. On Saturday January 24th, families held at Dilley protested their detainment shouting "Libertad para los niños" or "Free the children!" in the midst of horrific, inhumane conditions. This comes after the illegal kidnapping of a 5-year old in Minnesota who is now being held at Dilley. This action hour will occur simultaneously as people of faith and conscience hold a vigil and procession to the facility, and is organized by UU Justice NC and the UU Solidarity Initiative (Borderlinks, Side with Love, UUMA, UURISE, UUSC, UUSJ) in partnership with the Texas UU Justice Ministry Register Here.:

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Action Hour In Solidarity with Texas. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
