UUs of Southern Delaware (Lewes, DE) 2820
What is your suggestion or idea?
Original
“Generosity. We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope. We
covenant to freely and compassionately share our faith, presence, and
resources. Our generosity connects us to one another in relationships of
interdependence and mutuality.”
Therefore, we propose changing this Value/Covenant to:
“Generosity. We are
called to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, hope. and to create peace. We
covenant to freely and compassionately share our faith, presence, and
resources. Our generosity connects us to one another in relationships of
interdependence and mutuality.”
What is the reason for your amendment idea?
Our UUA 2010 Statement of Conscience, Creating Peace” very pointily says: “Our faith calls us to create peace”. We feel that Creating Peace is a UU value worthy of being included in this update Art. II. We are making this suggestion – though we would consider including ““Peace”” somewhere else.
Have you discussed this idea with your congregation or other UUs?
The UU Peace Ministry has unanimously agreed that Peace should be included in the proposed update of Art.II.
