Here’s a link to the UUA study report: <a href="https://www.uua.org/files/2023-02/article-II-study-report-2021-23.pdf">https://www.uua.org/files/2023-02/article-II-study-report-2021-23.pdf</a> . Not everyone agrees that these changes are worthy or wise. Here’s a link to a group of UUs who oppose changing Article II: <a href="https://savethe7principles.org/">https://savethe7principles.org/</a>. Two more discussions of this topic will be held before we send our delegates to the UUA conference: this Sunday, at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the FUUSM social hall. Please do your homework, or at least come to one of the discussions. Our delegates need to represent us at the conference. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-autospace:ideograph-numeric'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:black'>Here’s the poem Rev.
