Who We Are
As the Rappahannock River flows into the Chesapeake Bay, it draws strength and beauty from many sources. So, too, our UU Fellowship of the Rappahannock draws on the strength of its members to offer a community of caring, a celebration for our joys, a refuge in times of need, a space to reflect on religious journeys, and a forum for the exchange of ideas. We are a liberal spiritual community on the Northern Neck. Each week, we have inspiring and provocative speakers fostering engaging conversations on spirituality, community, and social justice issues.
What We Believe
Unitarian Universalist beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no doctrine or creed. Our shared covenant of Seven Principles supports “the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” This responsible search has led us to embrace diverse teachings from Eastern and Western religions and philosophies.
The Seven Principles
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
- Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth;
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process;
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
What’s a UU?
UUs are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and many beliefs. We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and love in our lives and the world.
Unitarian Universalism affirms and promotes Seven Principles grounded in the humanistic teachings of the world’s religions. Our spirituality is unbounded, drawing from scripture and science, nature and philosophy, personal experience, and ancient traditions.
UU Shared Values
- Equity. We respect the inherent worthiness and dignity of every person and build inclusive communities.
- Generosity. We practice gratitude and share our presence and resources.
- Interdependence. We honor, protect, and heal the interdependent web of all existence.
- Justice. We work to dismantle racism and oppression, co-creating a socially just world that works for everyone.
- Pluralism. We celebrate and learn from diverse cultures, theologies, and experiences in our free, responsible search for meaning.
- Transformation. We are open to experience and grow.
