Personal Theology-“Trying Once Again to Say Who We Are.” Presenter, Rev. Jay Atkinson

  • Personal Theology
  • Special Event

The UUA Principles are once again up for revision with a commission charged to propose an update to Article II of the UUA bylaws.  Why “principles”?  Why not values, or covenants, or commitments?  And where do our present UUA principles come from?  Rev’d Jay will offer a brilliant and historical look at all this and raise some questions about what’s transient and what’s permanent in the identity of our UU tradition.
