Seeking Your Own Spiritual Path

(taken from our publication "for those who have fallen in love with life")

We are persons who face the future without another's rules or creeds; yet our self-discipline sets a strict standard of ethics where integrity is sacred

We are seekers rather than believers. If we have a faith, it is in our confidence that our search for the truth is as important to us as finding it.

We often discover individually a wellspring of wisdom, strength and beauty within our own minds and hearts which frees us to trust ourselves.

We come together in church to reinforce and renew ourselves with others who also have the freedom to decide and to choose and to live the ideas and actions which they think best for themselves and their dealings with others and with the world.

Together we seek to grow in self knowledge, self respect, self reliance.

We strive for self-confidence and a feeling of worth that helps us grow naturally and intelligently toward a personal faith in things we can understand and an open mind to wonder about the things we cannot comprehend.

By the kind of persons we become and by the way we treat others, we try to make the most of our lives so that people, and the earth, will be glad that we have lived.

Free from fear and intimidation each one is free to be me.

We are free to believe or not to believe. Our church imposes no creeds -- not because we have no beliefs, but because we will not be restrained in our beliefs. In a continuing dialogue with others who value a free exchange of ideas, we grow in knowledge, sympathy and understanding.

Together we are united in diversity because our thoughts are free

We are hopeful, joyful people who live deliberately and openly so that our lives have happiness and love and so that our work is for the best things that humankind can know and hope for.

We believe that a person's religion is best shown by how he or she lives each day. We know that if we live the best life we can now, we need not fear the future.

Together we affirm that life is good, people are good.
