Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion/Unitarian Universalism work group
This talk page is solely for discussions pertaining to Wikipedia articles that are about or relate to in some way Unitarianism, Christian Universalism, Unitarian Universalism, their associated people, places and organizations, as well as procedural and operational issues relating to the Unitarian Universalism work group. Please respect this. Getting InvolvedHello everyone, I was thinking of getting involved with this work group, but I noticed that it looks kind of dead. Are there any active members right now? I was thinking I might start with some cleanup here at the work group itself. For instance, starting to archive messages here on the talk page. I also noticed that the "members" section on the main page is organized in such a way that the user would have to put themselves on the "inactive" list even though that often means they are not editing Wikipedia at all. I think I might just make the into subsections dedicated to year so an active user has to add their name every year and inactive users simply stopping adding their name. If anyone is still around at this work group then let me know what you think.

Thank you for your time and work. Borsoka (talk) 03:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC) Date of adoption of the seven principlesOur article on the Unitarian Universalist Association says that the seven principles were adopted in 1984 (Unitarian Universalist Association#Principles and purposes), citing to this UUA source: https://www.uuworld.org/articles/how-uu-principles-purposes-were-adopted?lj= . But a different UUA source -- https://www.uuworld.org/articles/uuas-original-principles-1961 -- gives the date as 1985. I have no idea which is right, so I leave it to the members of the working group to deal with this. JamesMLane t c 05:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC) Date of Adoption of Seven Principles / Join / Assistance Requested@ JamesMLane There were two votes on adopting the Seven Principles due to the classification of Article II as a "C" level bylaw. Meaning the bylaw was in the original 1961 Constitution. The Constitution was later merged into the UUA Bylaws document. "C" level bylaws follow a different amendment procedure from the other bylaws. The Story: In the 1980s, a bottom-up initiative resulted in a significant update to our principles. Sponsoring this initiative was the UU Women’s Federation (UUWF). The UUWF was formed in 1963 from the merger of two historic women's groups, the Association of Universalist Women, founded in 1869, and the Alliance of Unitarian and Other Liberal Christian Women, founded in 1890. The UUWF, aware that the U.S. had undergone a cultural shift in the use of language and the understanding of gender roles, advocated for further updates to our principles. A draft of the new principles was available by 1982, and votes were taken in 1984 and 1985 that finalized the process. A revised set of Seven Principles was adopted in 1985, along with the creation of Five Sources. From @ UU Archivist James, I would be interested in joining this group. Is it still active? I could use some assistance on the back-and-forth I am having with an editor on my article on George Leonard Chaney. Can you or anyone in the group assist?
