Calling all Unitarian Universalists!

The Commission on Appraisal (COA) needs you to comment on the draft revision (PDF) (also available in RTF) of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Principles and Purposes (Article II of the Bylaws).

Here’s how to give us your feedback:

Complete the survey online or return the paper survey (PDF) that has been sent to all congregations or which you may download now.

Please send comments and paper surveys to:

Commission on Appraisal
Unitarian Universalist Association

Boston, MA 02108

Respond by October 16 to have your comments heard.

The time line for the rest of this process is:

  • October 16, 2008: Deadline for congregational and other responses
  • October 23-26, 2008: COA meets to consider responses
  • December 15, 2008: Final draft of our proposal sent to UUA Board
