President's Message
Welcome to Don Heights Unitarian Congregation!
Unitarian Universalist Principles
8: Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and systemic barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions
Our 8th principle reflects a historic decision of 2021 that is now being celebrated by many of us. It is just the end of the beginning, because it is necessary to continue the hard and long-term work of living and fully realizing this new principle in our congregation and in our national movement. This work includes:
Adopting the 8th Principle and the other recommendations of the CUC Dismantling Racism Study Group in our own congregation, now that the national organization and some other congregations have taken these steps.
Continuing and expanding on the work in our congregation to dismantle racism and remove other barriers to full inclusion. This will take years, even decades, so requires a long-term commitment.
Looking at governance and decision making processes that are more inclusive. The CUC is forming a team led by young adults to explore options.
The CUC has also launched a review of its bylaw to establish a process for reviewing and amending the Principles, something that is currently lacking.
And, reaching out to the people who are not currently celebrating this decision, in our congregation and elsewhere.
