The diverse theologies that make up the global Unitarian Universalist tradition are centered around inspiring lives of activism for a more just, loving, and inclusive world. The Sixth Principle of Unitarian Universalism speaks of working towards achieving the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. International engagement is a key element of the justice work that Unitarian Universalists are involved in every day.
