WHEREAS, reversal of the arms race must be the overwhelming priority on the human agenda because escalating military power:

1. Diverts crucial resources from human and environmental needs;
2. Contributes to runaway inflation and inhibits full employment;
3. Leads toward the certainty of planetary holocaust;

BE IT RESOLVED: That the 1979 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association urges that the Association appeal to all individuals and religious bodies to join in renouncing the arms race and any participation therein; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Assembly requests that the Unitarian Universalist Association continue and increase its cooperation with the World Conference on Religion and Peace to mobilize the peoples of the world for peace.
