Yesterday morning, we continued our month of focus on Heritage by looking again at the place of the Seven Principles in our UU Faith heritage. We shared a message originally delivered by Rev. David Schwartz at the UU Church of Boulder in February this year on “How (and Why) We Got Our Unitarian Universalist 7 Principles.” The message is available to view online:
Rev. Schwartz also gave a follow-up message one week later, looking at the current proposal to rewrite the Principles and “inviting consideration of where it may do better (or not) than the 7 Principles at articulating just what it is Unitarian Universalists believe in.” This second message is also available to view online:
For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service from yesterday is available to view online:
