Finding Our Center - An Article II Discussion
2023-03-26 11:30 - 12:30 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington-Normal, 1613 East Emerson Street, Bloomington, IL, 61701, United States
Finding Our Center – An Article II Discussion

Article II revisions are the major proposal for voting at this summer’s General Assembly. Learn more in a discussion following the March 26 service. Let Terina know before 03/19 if childcare would enable you to participate.
Article II of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Bylaws, Principles and Purposes, is the foundation for all of the work of our UUA and its member congregations and covenanted communities. It is the covenant to which all of our congregations and covenanted communities pledge themselves when they become members of our UUA.
Our current Principles and Purposes were last revised in 1987. At General Assembly (GA) 2017, there was discussion of amending the Principles to add an 8th Principle, addressing racism, and an amended 1st Principle, addressing non-human life. The 5th Principle was the subject of a report in 2009, which dealt with the ways in which GA and other Unitarian Universalist (UU) gatherings do and don’t embody an inclusive democratic process. The 7th Principle has also been the subject of discussions about possible amendments.
The Article II Study Commission has completed its two year study. They submitted their Article II Study Report (PDF 26 pages) to the UUA Board of Trustees at their meeting held on January 20, 2023. The report includes the Study Commission’s recommended revisions to Article II.
