8th Principle vote
- 3/30 through 4/20 services– discuss alternative wording during the services.
- 4/20 “this is not a regular service, this is a discussion/vote” Several of us can run the service.
- Voted by the Board to do this.
- Proposed 8th Principle language: We value the cultural diversity, communication, and cooperation of all social groups; we hope to extinguish misconceptions, stereotypes, discrimination, and other oppressions in ourselves and in our institutions.
- National proposal: “We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”
- Re-write by ChatGPT: As member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, we covenant to promote a journey towards spiritual wholeness. We will actively work to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community that dismantles racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions. Our commitment to accountability and justice will guide our actions. (Sofia)
