The 8th Principle Initiative: The Time Is Now!
The UUSD Board of Trustees authorized the Adult Faith Exploration Committee to lead its important congregational initiative—a study program to learn about a new “8th Principle” being advocated by leading anti-racists within the UU denomination. The congregation voted at the UUSD Annual Meeting on June 12, 2022 to accept the 8th Principle at UUSD as follows: “The liberation, transformation and love that comes with dismantling racism and all oppressions in ourselves and in our society.”
