Commission on Appraisal

Mission Statement

Grounded in the living tradition of our free and responsible faith, yet charged with acting independently, the Commission’s mission is to provoke deep reflection and to evoke timely, creative transformation of Unitarian Universalism, our congregations, and the Unitarian Universalist Association.

CoA Survey: What Should Our Next Topic Be?

We invite your participation in a brief survey by the Commission on Appraisal as we prepare to select our next study topic. The Commission serves similarly to a “think tank” on larger issues facing Unitarian Universalism.

We invite both individual Unitarian Universalists and congregations to participate in the survey. The Commission is casting as wide a net as possible among Unitarian Universalists so included in the invitation to participate are Congregation, District, Region, and Association professional staff.
