Our Eighth Principle

The Rev. Cassandra Howe – September 16, 2018

An 8th principle of our 7 UU principles has been written and promoted since 2013. But it has not been formally accepted as part of our UU principles. It reads, “We, the member congregations of the UUA, 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.” One of the tripping points in working for positive change is language and how we frame what we are for, and whether or not we need to be against anything. Come hear why we need to be both against racism AND for multicultural community, and how we can be a part of this vision in the making.
