In the Freedom of Conscience in Matters of Religion;

•  Therefore we require no statement of faith or acceptance of    particular doctrines to be acceptable in our churches/chapels and fellowships.

We believe in a free and responsible search for truth and   meaning.

 In the Inherent Worth and Dignity of all People;

•  Therefore we welcome all regardless of creed, colour, sex, or sexuality; and in the acceptance of one another the encouragement  to spiritual growth

 In the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all people, and respect for the interdependent web of all existence, of which we are a part.

•  Therefore we support the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

 The living tradition from which we draw strength;

•  The words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront evil with justice, compassion and the transforming power of love.

· Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspire us in our ethical and spiritual life.

· Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbour as ourselves.

· Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us of the idolatries of mind and spirit.

· Spiritual teachings of the Earth-centred traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
