Paula Cole Jones presents
“The 8th Principle: Building the Beloved Community”
With Caitlin Regan as Worship Leader

How strong is our faith with and without the 8th Principle?

Perhaps the strength of Unitarian Universalism can be measured in the true transformative power of our Principles. It is the seven principles of Unitarian Universalism that bring us together.

Momentum is growing around the country for the inclusion of an 8th Principle. It states: We, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by building a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.

You are invited to join Paula Cole Jones on Sunday, May 23, 2021 to explore why we need an 8th Principle and why now?
