Submission 293
Ben Ogilvie
Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church (Hayward, CA) 2214

What is your suggestion or idea?

Change:

“We support the use of inclusive democratic processes to make decisions.”
to

“We support the use of inclusive democratic processes to make decisions within our congregations and in society at large.”

What is the reason for your amendment idea?

I think it’s good to emphasize the importance of defending democracy in our country since it’s under siege.

Have you discussed this idea with your congregation or other UUs?

I’ve discussed this with a friend in another church, part of a local cluster of churches starting to collaborate on ARAOM work.
