August 25, 2024 service for the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City. The Reverend Monica Dobbins dives into some of the outcomes of the 2024 UUA General Assembly, including the refreshing of the common statement of faith in Article Two of the UUA's bylaws. This update moves away from static principles to dynamic values, encouraging actionable faith and communal responsibility, and emphasizing love and covenant over mere belief.
