11:00 Love: Article II Study Report
“The purpose of the Unitarian Universalist Association is to actively engage its members in the transformation of the world through liberating Love.”

~Article II Study Report

Join us for our Summer Sharing Series where will explore a variety of topics including, but not limited to, the Unitarian Universalist Association’s proposed revision based on the Article II Study Report. This report cites Love as the glue that binds together UU’s shared values. Stating specifically that, “We are accountable to one another for doing the work of living our shared values through the spiritual discipline of Love.” Our extensive list of subjects for the summer includes descriptions of the proposed changes. Love, interdependence, Pluralism, Justice, Transformation, Generosity, and Equity. This series of subjects will begin and end with a closer look at our perception of just what UUs mean by love.

These services are designed to allow participants to share their thoughts if they choose to do so. Sharing is always voluntary; active listening is welcome too. While you are speaking, all others are asked to remain silent and listen carefully and completely. In part one of the discussion we do not permit cross-talk, reactions, or questions except to ask someone to repeat or clarify. This Sunday we will begin our roundtable-style services with Love.
