[UUA-L] UUA Congregational Participation Needed on Proposed Statement of Conscience - Peacemaking - deadline Feb. 2!

[Unitarian Universalist Association]

The UUA Commission on Social Witness needs your assistance in helping
your congregations vote in this year's Congregational Poll on whether to
approve putting the Draft Statement of Conscience (Draft SOC) on
Peacemaking on the Final Agenda of the 2009 General Assembly.  Unless at
least 25% of certified congregations participate in the Poll by February
2, 2009, the delegates will not be able to amend it or vote on it, and
it will die.  The Congregational Poll is attached online to the
Certification Process that each congregation must complete by February
2, 2009, to be part of the UUA voting and certification process.  The
Certification Process and Congregational Poll can be found at
http://www.uua.org/socialjustice/issuesprocess/currentissues/56346.shtml
and require a password that your Church Administrator should have.

 

You can see a copy of the Draft SOC at
http://www.uua.org/socialjustice/issuesprocess/currentissues/peacemaking
/121606.shtml .  The question asked in the Congregational Poll is
whether your congregation, or its representatives, believe the Draft SOC
is worded well enough to be considered by the General Assembly, as
refined by congregational comment before and during the 2009 General
Assembly.  Get the permission of your Board of Trustees President to
allow your committee to make the recommendation on the Poll, or devise
some other method of reaching a decision.  You can then give your
Administrator the recommended answer to the Poll.  Please vote "Yes" or
"No."
