In June 2020, Nauset Fellowship joined many other UU Congregations in adopting the 8th Principle
which states:
“We 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.”
Now, the Unitarian Universalist Association must grapple with how to best situate the commitments expressed in the 8th Principle into Article II, the section of the Rules and Bylaws that describe the Purposes and Covenants of the organization. This program will include a videotaped interview with Paula Cole Jones, a co-leader of the 8th Principle Project and member of the Article Two Study Commission, followed by discussion. All are welcome!
Live at Chapel in the Pines and on Zoom.
