A New Congregation Has Passed the Resolution to Change the First Principle!

We are happy to announce that  the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tullahoma, Tennessee has passed a resolution to change the UUA bylaws so that the First Principle reads, "The inherent worth and dignity of all beings."  Thanks to them and those that helped passed this resolution, including Doug Traversa who preached on the subject and brought it to the attention of that congregation.

Here is a video of that sermon.  You can use it to bring the conversation, and hopefully the resolution, to your congregation.




 We now have 7 sponsoring congregations, and 4 sponsoring organizations.

Yours could be the next one - may it be so!
