1.

Our common welfare should come first; personal healing and growth depends upon UI unity.

2.

For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

3.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to live in harmony with people of all diversities.

4.

Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or UI as a whole.

5.

Each group has but one primary purpose - to foster an environment of unity and to carry its message to all who wish to be free from prejudice.

6.

A UI group ought never endorse, finance or lend the UI name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

7.

Every UI group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

8.

Unity Initiative should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

9.

UI, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

10.

Unity Initiative has no opinion on outside issues; hence the UI name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

11.

Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, TV, films or any medium broadcasting to the public at large.

12.

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
