Proposed Change to Bylaws on Public Expression

The Council for Faith in Action is proposing a change to UUCWC’s bylaws to facilitate UUCWC expressing itself publicly in alignment with our principles.

PROPOSED BYLAW CHANGES REGARDING PUBLIC EXPRESSION

RATIONALE FOR PROPOSED CHANGE TO BYLAW, ARTICLE III CONGREGATION, SECTION 3 PUBLIC EXPRESSION:

The current bylaw was developed when UUCWC was small and issues moved more slowly. Our world now requires a nimbler ability to respond to issues of life. UUCWC operates under policy governance where by empowerment of our committees & ministries through policies enables a more participatory response. The proposed bylaws and related policy enables this process to be more fluid.
