Chapel Takes Stand
Opposing War with Iraq
At a special Congregational Meeting held on Sunday,
January 12, 2003 the members of Bell Street Chapel approved the following resolution:
As
Unitarian Universalists we hold to the goal of a world
community with peace, liberty and justice for all.
Therefore, we call on our national leaders to use
creative, peaceful means to resolve conflict with Iraq,
to stand with other nations in the international
community who are working for the elimination of weapons
of mass destruction, to support the international
promotion of human rights and to cease advocating
preemptive war.
We support the members of our
congregation who are taking public stands for peace and
encourage them to witness for our religious
community.
