Our Living Tradition

We honor the direct experience of mystery and wonder, present in all cultures, that renews our spirit and opens us to the forces that create and sustain life.

We are inspired by the words and actions of prophetic people, who call us to challenge power and systems of control with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love.

We draw on the wisdom of the world’s religions, which guides and inspires our ethical and spiritual lives.

We follow Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist teachings, which call us to live with compassion, respond to love with love, and care for our neighbors as ourselves.

We are guided by Humanist teachings, which encourage us to follow reason and scientific understanding, while cautioning against misconceptions that limit the mind and spirit.

We learn from the spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions, which honor the sacred circle of life and guide us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

Covenant Statement

We, the Unitarian Universalist congregation of Spokane, promise to:

support and care for one another,
embrace diversity of persons and spiritual paths,
search for truth and understanding,
and work for social justice and environmental stewardship.

With this covenant, we honor each other with our laughter and tears, our compassion, and respect.

We are a community of open hearts, open minds, and open hands.
