• The Group and all members agree not to act or behave in any way or ways that actively violate the following values by which the MGA lives:

Universal Love - honoring the inherent divinity and interdependent unity of all life.

Hospitality - creating a sanctuary where mutual respect is fundamental, where people are welcome and cared for, discover and reveal the promise they carry within them, bring their differences and gifts to co-create a safe space for deep personal and collective learning, broad reflection, and renewed commitment.

Inclusive Community - welcoming all who are respectful of others and reaching out to groups that are marginalized by our culture.

Lifelong learning, spiritual deepening and prophetic transformation - cultivating transformation and spiritual development, thus inspiring and encouraging people to work throughout their lives with courage and love to make the world a better place.

Reverence for life and the natural world - respecting and caring for the natural world and affirming the inspiration humans derive from it.

Unitarian Universalist Principles - standing as the foundation of all our work:

• 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.
