Many Paths, One Heart

Covenant Statement

We the Congregation of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Farmington, affirm together the following commonly held beliefs:

• Each of us has inherent worth and dignity. We are unique and separate, yet interconnected and touched by everything around us. We are able to form flexible, creative and conscious responses to life. We seek to understand the world around us and the world within us.
• We are powerful, yet limited in our power. We are capable of both good and evil, and are responsible for our own choices. We value contributing to the universal well being through sensitive, ethical relationships with the environment, with other people and with ourselves.
• We are evolving, changing and searching, with more potential in every way than we have yet realized. We strive for personal fulfillment while working toward our full potential.
• Our knowledge comes to us through our own experience and what we have received from others, past and present. It is synthesized by our reasoning and intuition, modified by our critical evaluation, and given emphasis by our value systems.
• Death is the end of our physical existence, our bodies returning to the life cycle. Our existence continues in the thoughts and feelings we have passed along, in our children and in the effects of our deeds.
• We are part of the vast natural system called the cosmos. Though we have differing beliefs defining the power of the cosmos, immortality and the Ultimate Reality of Life, we share profound respect for our varying concepts and the ongoing struggle for understanding.
• We acknowledge the power we gain from searching together in this church and we pledge our energy, our commitment and our support to furthering these beliefs in ourselves, in the community, and in the world.
