2021 DRAFT STATEMENT OF CONSCIENCE
After three years of study and action on the 2018-2021 Congregational Study/Action Issue Undoing Systemic White Supremacy: A Call to Prophetic Action, the General Assembly delegates will vote this June whether to adopt the draft Statement of Conscience (SOC), prepared by the Commission on Social Witness with feedback from congregations. Adopted Statements of Conscience focus the efforts of UU congregations and other UU groups on the topic of the SOC, shape the meaning of contemporary Unitarian Universalism, and empower the UUA staff to lobby our positions in pending legislation.
