At the General Assembly (GA) in 2017 there was discussion of adding an 8th Principle, specifically to address racism in our congregations. At this service our speaker will explain more about the 8th Principle and Article II revisions and share why as a lifelong UU, Director of Religious Education and a UU consultant she supports them both. Article II will be introduced at this year’s GA, if it receives a simple majority, the final vote on Article II will be carried to GA 2024.
Our Universalist ancestors believed in a God who loves everyone. Today our UU beliefs take this original idea to mean that WE love everyone. What does that mean in the context of Justice? How do we live our Universalist beliefs in a world that is so full of injustice and inequity? Come let us explore ways we live what we believe and truly make the world a better place for everyone.
Come learn about Sarah Emma Edmonds, a woman who served in the U.S. Army during the Civil War as a nurse, mail carrier, soldier and spy. This extraordinary woman’s life is an inspiration for breaking barriers in our world today.
