UUs and Social Justice

Unitarian Universalism affirms that inspiration and meaning may be found in many sources, including experience, history, and religious tradition.

Our strong commitment to social justice is grounded in our Unitarian Universalist history, our seven principles, and in contemporary Unitarian Universalist congregational life.

The first principle that UUA congregations affirm and promote is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Our congregations strive to welcome all people. The seven principles also call UUA congregations to work for justice, equity and compassion in human relations, the democratic process, the goal of world community, and respect for the interdependent web of all existence.

Our Unitarian Universalist commitment to social justice fuels our advocacy for comprehensive sexuality education; economic justice; environmental justice; equality for bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender (BGLT) people and their families; gender equality; immigrant rights; and other important causes which Unitarian Universalists and UUA congregations support.

Social Justice Activities

Mission: To provide congregational leadership in response to the needs of the community and the larger world.

Programs: Clothing and housing for the homeless, material for prisoners, and supporting the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee in international efforts for peace and justice.

Social Justice concerns have always been an important part of our congregational commitment. Our congregation is active in providing room and board for NPHIN (Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Network) families while they persue permanent housing and employment.
