 One of the principles of the Unitarian Universalist faith is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. The AUUF, as a Welcoming Congregation, welcomes bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people into our community. We strive to:
- Include and address the needs of b/g/l/t persons at every level of congregational life in worship, in programs, in social occasions, and in rites of passages welcoming not only their presence, but the gifts and particularities of their lives as well.
- Fully incorporate the experiences of b/g/l/t persons throughout all programs, including religious education.
- Offer congregational and ministerial support for union and memorial services for b/g/l/t persons, and for celebrations of family definitions.
- Seek to nurture ongoing dialogue between bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender, and heterosexual persons and to create deeper trust and sharing.
- Speak out when the rights of bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people are at stake.
- Celebrate the lives of all people and their ways of expressing their love for each other.
