The 8th Principle

The 8th Principle

“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.”
​

​“Nosotros, las congregaciones miembros de la Asociación Unitaria Universalista, nos comprometemos a afirmar y promover: el camino hacia la integridad espiritual para construir una Comunidad Amada diversa y multicultural a través de nuestras acciones responsables que desmantelen el racismo y otras opresiones en nosotros y en nuestras instituciones.”
Our congregation is in discernment about adopting the 8th Principle.  
​The Board is anticipating to bring the item the congregation for a vote at our annual meeting on June 13.
