Coordinated Education Project
NOTING that one of the recommendations of Commission V on Ethics and Social Action was that more “rationality and utility” could be injected into the General Assembly’s consideration of resolutions if “the entire denomination for a full church year” could focus on “some one major topic for a coordinated adult education project culminating in an Assembly discussion leading to action”;
RECALLING that the Universalist Church of America in 1955 urged that all nations not yet members of the United Nations be included, such as the People’s Republic of China;
AFFIRMING that the policies of North America towards the People’s Republic of China may incite or prevent another world war;
BE IT RESOLVED: That the Fourth General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association endorses the recommendation of the Advisory Committee of the Department of Social Responsibility that the affiliated churches and fellowships, the appropriate departments of the Association, and affiliated agencies, during the church year 1965-66 study the relationship of the United States, Canada, and the United Nations to China and Taiwan and make specific recommendations for denominational action at the Fifth General Assembly; and
BE IT RESOLVED: That the Fourth General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association endorse the policy that each year two topics be selected for main church and fellowship adult education concentration, these to be proposed by the appropriate Association departments and selected by the General Assembly. These topics should lead to General Assembly consideration and denominational action, and preferably be such that the denomination as well as churches and fellowships can be involved in and act on the subject matter to an end profitable for those concerned.
