Our 8th Principle 

Channing Memorial Church voted to affirm the 8th Principle of the Unitarian Universalist Association, April 24, 2022.

​

"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, dedicated to summoning the courage to confront racism and other oppressions in all their guises."

​

The Eighth Principle

Where Did This Come From Originally?

Why Now?

Why the UUA (USA)?

Why Single Out Racism?

What is Beloved Community?

What Does It Mean To Be Accountable?​

​

​

"In adopting the 8th Principle, Channing Memorial Church has committed itself to anti-oppression work. I am eager to determine next steps and make a difference in the community around us.  As a church community, we strive to be a source of love and healing in the world."

-- Rev. Jane Smith
