[Fuusm-l] Fwd: Invitation to National Conversation

Thu Mar 14 10:09:51 CDT 2024

And with the congregation's approval at our annual meeting, I will be a delegate to GA and would like to have the sense of FUUSM's position on the changes before casting my vote. I was able to listen to the thinking of both sides of the issue at last year's GA, and people that I believe to be of good will are holding very different positions.

Remember the contentious Article II changes to the UUA bylaws?  A national conversation is beginning on this topic in advance of the 2024 General Assembly. They are actively seeking participants!  How about YOU?
