As an unchurched UU, who drifted away during COVID and a major national move, I was feeling a tug to join my local UU congregation. However, I just discovered the amendments made to Article II and now have a deep sense of loss from this change that I'm now mourning.

I'm sure many of you here have adapted and are embracing the revisions. While bigger than me, I feel a sense of guilt for not being an active UUer and engaging in the process. I wanted to register my frustration and regret that I wasn't able to oppose these changes. It's my belief that the language has lost much of the substance, poetry, and history that attracted me to this faith community in the first place.

- Have UUers fully embraced this amendment?

- Is there any ongoing movement to re-revise the Article II language?

- Is there writing of deep theological substance that could make me feel that this revision is worthy of the liberal religious tradition?
