I personally don't feel at all enthusiastic about these changes.  Both the new and the old language are sterile, but the old less so.  Putting energy into this is mostly a way of avoiding dealing with the real problem in the UU movement and in most religions today, declining participation, especially among youth.  I'm not sure how to deal with the real problems, but wasting time on these bylaw revisions isn't likely to help.  Will more people join because they like the new statement better?  I think it's just as well we ignore it.

Hello, all

 

As you may know, a study commission has proposed revisions to Article II of the UUA bylaws, the section that includes principles and purposes. The revised language can be found at the following link; it is also attached.

 

https://www.uua.org/files/2023-10/a2_final_line_num_10312023.pdf

 

 In addition, there have been a number of amendments proposed to the revision. They are available at this link:

 <https://discuss.uua.org/t/article-ii-amendments-needing-congregational-support-to-move-forward/1447> Article II Amendments Needing Congregational Support to Move Forward

In this section, you’ll find submitted amendments which still need support to move forward in the process. Please contact the person who submitted the amendment via the email address provided.

discuss.uua.org <http://discuss.uua.org> 

 

 

FUUSM is late to this process, unless I have missed something. If our congregation wishes to support any of the amendments for presentation at General Assembly 2024 (and if I understand the process), our board would need to contact the amendment's proposer before February 1 to join as a congregational supporter.
