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.

We will read names of trans people who have passed and do some grieving practices together.
