We are a welcoming and progressive community, with a focus on social justice, music, religious education and Frank Lloyd Wright. We've always taught that deeds matter more than creeds, and that the quality of our lives counts for more than the “correctness” of our beliefs. Our Mission First Unitarian Society is a place where seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical and social issues in a safe and nurturing environment. Unitarian Universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. Our Continuing Bond of Union "We whose names are hereunto inscribed, desiring a religious organization in the spirit of Jesus of Nazareth, which shall make integrity of life its first aim and leave thought free, associate ourselves together as the First Unitarian Society of Madison and accept to its membership those of whatever theological opinion who wish to unite with us in the promotion of truth, righteousness, reverence and charity among all." -Adopted 1879, revised 1980. What we believe •The inherent worth and dignity of every person; •Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; •Acceptance of one another and encouragement of spiritual growth; •A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; •The rights of conscience and the use of the democratic process; •A world community with peace, liberty and justice for all; •Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
