Greetings, !

Many religious traditions adopt and promote a set of value statements or principles that help guide ethical practices. As the NAUA is still early in its formation, we have not yet agreed upon such principles, although there are many that might naturally flow from our mission statement:

"The North American Unitarian Association (NAUA) is committed to supporting and promoting liberal religion, including embracing the fundamental principles of human dignity, religious freedom, reason and tolerance."

We are excited to begin the process of developing these guiding principles, and we invite all NAUA members and supporters of liberal religion to share their ideas through a short survey. The survey only takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Survey responses will be compiled and shared with the NAUA Board, the NAUA Principles Task Force, and in the Compass newsletter. The results will also help inform a draft set of proposed principles that will be discussed with membership and (hopefully) voted upon at our Annual Meeting / Summit. In addition, the survey will help us determine the dates, formats and topics for the Summit.

Your participation is very much appreciated, and we look forward to your input! Please complete the survey no later than Wednesday, March 25th.

With appreciation,

Terry Anderson
Chair, NAUA Principles Task Force
