Are you facing questions and life issues that challenge the values you grew up with?
Do you ever feel that you can’t truly "be yourself," even among roommates and social circles?
Do you ever wonder what values you can really trust as you grow in independence and responsibility?
Have you ever wished for a community that looks for truth no matter where the search led, questions the culture’s conventional wisdom, works for justice, celebrates life and diversity, and accepts you just the way you are?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia Unitarian Universalist Students gathers weekly to explore questions of meaning and value, to share our stories, to support each other in justice-seeking, and to create a safe space to acknowledge our delights and our struggles. We are a liberal religious community within the UVa world—and we are hoping you will explore with us.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Principles and Purposes that we believe in:
* The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
* Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
* Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
* A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
* The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
* 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.
