An interactive examination of Peacemaking that
includes a variety of presentations and welcomes contributions from all
perspectives.
The Study/Action Issue adopted at the 2006 General Assembly of the Unitarian
Universalist Association (UUA) started with the question: "…should the UUA
reject the use of any and all kinds of violence and war…and adopt a principle of
seeking just peace through nonviolent means."
Although some interpreted this as a call for debate between just war and
pacifist perspectives, the Peacemaking CSAI Core Team believes that the heart of
peacemaking is seeking to find solutions that encompass all truths, rather than
creating a competitive battle between two positions.
Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) is an invitation for congregations and
districts to take a topic of concern confront it, reflect on it, learn about it,
respond to it, comment on it take action—each in their own way.
UUCB recognizes this is a pressing issue for not only our congregation, but also
for our local, national and global communities. We invite anyone interested in
peacemaking to participate. A light sandwich luncheon will be served.
The seminar is free, but donations are of course gratefully accepted.
