WHEREAS, it has been one of the strongest traditions of our Unitarian Universalist religious movement to honor freedom of the press; and

WHEREAS, the Unitarian Universalist World is described in the 1974 Directory of the UUA as "intended to strengthen communication between individual UU's, member societies, and the Association . . . and to present a positive representation of Unitarian Universalism including diversity and balance";

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That to insure and implement the concepts honored above, freedom of the press and diversity and balance, the 1974 General Assembly urges the Board of Trustees to reaffirm a policy of encouraging the Editor and staff of the UU World to seek and report criticisms, alternative opinions, and background information concerning current UUA matters.
