UNISON CHALICE LIGHTING

Our Unitarian Universalist congregations covenant to affirm and promote

a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

We gather to support each other on this spiritual journey.

The Living Tradition we share draws from many sources

including direct experience of transcending mystery and wonder.

We gather to explore our own experiences

and listen to the experiences of others.

May our time together renew us

and open us to the forces that create and uphold life.

We light this chalice for the Spirit of Life.

FOCUSING PRINCIPLE AND SOURCE

This workshop is grounded in the following Principle and Source from the Purposes and Principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association:

  • We covenant to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
  • The living tradition we share 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 that create and uphold life.
