Faith Forward Inquirers Series

The topic for this session is The 8 Principles and Article 2, presented by Norm Richey, Membership Chair. Norm will present a brief history of the 7 Principles plus Article II which led to the revision of the Principles with a new Logo. Dr. Susan Hendricks-Richman will talk about the inclusion and meaning of the 8th Principle. Time for discussion will follow.

Many visitors come to UUSM with a host of questions: “What is Unitarian Universalism?” “What do UUs believe?” “What happens in your church community?” Our Faith Forward Inquirers Series for visitors, new members, and current members is designed to help answer these questions and many others.
