*AFFIRMATION/AFIRMACION
Love is the doctrine of this church,
The quest of truth is its sacrament,
And service is its prayer.
To dwell together in peace
To seek the truth in freedom
To serve humankind in fellowship
To the end that all souls may grow
Into harmony with the divine,
This do we covenant with one another.
El amor es la doctrina de esta iglesia,
La búsqueda de la verdad es su sacramento,
Y el servicio es su oración.
Habitar juntos en paz
Buscar la verdad con libertad
Y servir a la humanidad juntos
Con el fín de que todas las almas
Puedan crecer en armonía con lo divino;
Esto es lo que pactamos unos con otros.

Go now in peace, go now in peace, may the Spirit of God surround you
everywhere, everywhere you may go. Vayan en paz, vayan en paz, pueda
el Dios rodearlos siempre, por doquier, por doquier, que vayan.
