In the 1960’s and 1970’s UUA women became increasingly upset by the non-inclusive language that dominated our faith. Both UU women and men were unhappy with the references from our original 1961 principles that included, the dignity of men, ideals of brotherhood, love to man, and to encourage cooperation with men of good will. The 1977 Women & Religion Resolution passed unanimously at General Assembly. The work that followed developed educational materials for women and religion, focused on women in leadership & in the ministry and led to the rewriting of our UUA principles.![]()
