Library Mission Statement
The mission of the Library of the Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is to provide resources to adults in our community that supports spiritual growth through the free and responsible search for truth and meaning (third and fourth UU Principles). We seek to include resources that bring understanding and insight from:
UU history, identity, beliefs, practices and beloved UU teachers
History and theology of the major world religions
Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit (from sources)
Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature (from sources)
Words and deeds of prophetic people which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love (the sixth principle)
Practices that help us meet significant personal challenges of sexuality, gender identity, and roles, relationships, parenting, illness, aging, grief, and death from a UU perspective
