Monthly Mailing to Congregations

January 2007

Dear Friends,

Enclosed in this mailing is a particularly important letter from the UUA's Commission on Appraisal. The COA is in the process of reviewing the Principles and Purposes of the UUA, and is soliciting feedback from member congregations. This will be one of two chances for the members of your congregation to suggest what, if any, revisions are needed in the text of the Principles and Purposes. For more information, see the enclosed letter and the COA's website, www.uua.org/coa .

Please also note that registration for the Asian/Pacific Islander Unitarian Universalists' annual conference is January 15 th . For more information, see the enclosed letter and A/PI's website, www.apiuu.org .

As always,  p lease feel free to print extra copies of the materials included here and to share this information with others.

In Faith,

Erika Nonken
Public Information Assistant
