We, as a loving and caring spiritual community, resolve to:

• Promote diversity through free expression of ideas and beliefs
• Encourage intellectual and spiritual growth, and
• Provide an environment for social activism and community service

We believe the search for truth is a journey, not a destination.  In this spirit, all are welcome.

(Written by the All Souls Congregation on 25-27 January 2002, approved by congregational vote on 17 February 2002)
