2024 Spring Congregational Meeting and Vote

The meeting will be held in-person and online May 19, 2024 at 12:30 pm.

The Board of Trustees will give a presentation on the items up for vote. Members will vote by electronic or mail-in ballots. The voting period is Monday, May 6 – Monday, May 27, 2024

Voting includes the following:

8th Principle: Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition, and our congregation is in the process of becoming a more anti-racist congregation. Our Board of Trustees previously voted to recommend adoption of the 8th Principle. The board is now bringing the question to a congregational vote. The text of the 8th Principle is “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.“
