Unitarian Universalist Ministry
1964 General Resolution
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; andWHEREAS, 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:
- Recruit and call qualified candidates for the ministry from all races, ages, and of both sexes;
- Continue to develop a salary structure commensurate with professional standards as determined by the Unitarian Universalist Ministerial Association;
- Contribute adequately to support the theological schools and provide financial assistance to theological students regardless of sex, race or age.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors. Please consider making a donation today.
