Adding an Eighth Principle

Included as a point of reference: UUA version as of now
We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”

Canadian version:
“We, the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council, covenant to affirm and promote: ‘Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and other oppressions in ourselves and in our institutions.’

If we want to have a voice in this process as a Congregation, then we need to have as much discussion among members of LUUC as we are motivated to undertake. It may be that finding a consensus will be straightforward — but maybe not. If you are interested in participating in this process, please indicate in the comment area below, and we will proceed from there.

I suggest the report of the CUC Dismantling Racism Committee serve as the starting-point for our discussion:
