WHEREAS, an effective ministry in the Unitarian Universalist churches requires both the full utilization of qualified persons now available and a continuing influx of able candidates; and

WHEREAS, many are discouraged from entering the ministry because of widespread reluctance of churches and fellowships to call them irrespective of their sex, race, or age;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the churches and fellowships be urged to:

1. Recruit and call qualified candidates for the ministry from all races, ages, and of both sexes;
2. Continue to develop a salary structure commensurate with professional standards as determined by the Unitarian Universalist Ministerial Association;
3. Contribute adequately to support the theological schools and provide financial assistance to theological students regardless of sex, race or age.
