The Article II Study Commission, connected with the UUA, has issued its ‘final update’ and now we have the chance to interact with and give feedback about it. The first section (purposes) ends with the line: “The UUA will actively engage its members in the transformation of the world through liberating Love.”

In Section 2 (values & covenant), it says, “As UUs, we covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries. We draw from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. We are accountable to one another for doing the work of living our shared values through the spiritual discipline of Love.”

All month we will explore the many meanings these words have and the implications for all our lives.
