Covenant, Not Creed
Sunday, November 13, 2022
10:30 am, live streamed from the Sanctuary
Rev. Catie Scudera leading
Our national denomination is in the midst of reviewing our UU Principles and Sources, and a draft of revised Principles and Sources has been published for review at General Assemblies 2023 and 2024. But, why are we considering revising our well-loved and well-established Principles and Sources, anyway? How does the 8th Principle fit in? And, what does all this have to do with being a covenantal faith, not a credal faith? For this year’s History Sunday, we’ll take a deep dive into the past, present, and future of our Principles and Sources.
