One of the unique things about Unitarian Universalism is our denominational commitment to periodically assessing our beliefs and discerning how they have evolved–in both practice and expression. Right now we’re in the midst of a by-law mandated process for determining changes to Article II, commonly known as the Principles and Sources. As a ‘Living Tradition’ that embraces our religious evolution informed by sacred, secular, and scientific understandings, the sermon will present and explore the proposed changes.
