Our Mission
This is a free, creedless religious congregation. In the discipline of truth and the
spirit of universal kinship, we join together in a cooperative quest for religious and
ethical values, seeking to apply these values to the development of character, enrichment
of the spirit, and service to all.
(Statement of Purpose from the Bylaws of the BuxMont
UU Fellowship)
You are welcome here, whatever your age, gender, physical or mental
capabilities, social graces, beauty of body or spirit, sexual orientation,
ethnic origin, or position in life. Join us as we journey toward peace and
justice for all persons.
(Statement of Inclusion adopted by the Board of the BuxMont UU
Fellowship)
We bid you welcome to this house. It is a place we love
and which we tend with care. We do not ask what you believe, or expect you
to think the way we do, but only that you try to live a kindly, helpful life,
with the dignity proper to a human life. Preachers here have the task of
presenting religion freely, fearlessly,
and faithfully. Hearers have the
responsibility of testing what they hear, not only with the critical mind, but
also in the living of everyday life. The members of this congregation
welcome the support of all who believe that religion is wider than any sect and
deeper than any set of opinions, and all who might find in their friendship
strength and encouragement for daily living.

A Welcoming Congregation
On December 10, 2000, our congregation voted unanimously to certify to the
Unitarian Universalist Association that we have met all the guidelines to be
listed as a Welcoming Congregation to gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender
folks.
