I don’t want to be a pillar of the community
Propping up the establishment
Maintaining the existing structures
I want to be a pillow of the community
Bringing comfort to those who need rest
A soft spot for animals to curl up
A gentle resting place for those who labour
A place of ease
A place of comfort
A place of love
Not a pillar, a pillow

Pretty much the title... I've tried to find an official announcement on the CUC page, but they are in the middle of the AGM and I guess it hasn't be posted yet. But, a small congregation on the west coast has this info on their webpage https://www.cvuf.ca/2021/05/08/8th-principle-passed/
8th Principle We, the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council, covenant to affirm and promote*: “Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and other oppressions in ourselves and in our institutions.”
Passed May 8th 2021 at the CUC AGM and supported by CVUF Delegates Barbara Huhn and Heather Gatland.
