Article II Presentation Video

New Time: 12pm, Children's Chapel

We encourage you to learn more about the upcoming vote on new wording for our principles and purposes as stated in our UUA by-laws, known as "Article II" that will take place during GA. This vote finalizes a multi-year process that includes considerable work by the Article II Study Commission and the UUA Board of Trustees. Article II has not been updated since the 1980s. Congregations are encouraged to be in rigorous conversation about Article II. It is important that we all engage with one another, ask questions, share thoughts and concerns, and prepare for the final vote to be held at the 2024 General Assembly. 

If you are considering being a delegate at GA in June, it will be especially important to hear from our congregants what they think about the proposed changes. Information about the Article II proposal can be found on the UUA website.

We met over zoom in March (thanks Demie for organizing and posting the recording), you can check out the discussion in the link below AND/OR join us for a re-run on Sunday 28 APRIL in the Children's Chapel at 12:00pm.

For folks who were not able to attend the presentation and discussion regarding the proposed changes to the UUA Article II bylaws, here is a link to the recording of that presentation. I've also attached a file that contains the chat from the presentation, which includes reference material that was discussed.
