Unitarians and Universalists have a proud history in the forefront of many movements for social change. The CUC, its member congregations and individual UUs are active on many issues, including the following ten for which we maintain Social Responsibility Monitoring Groups.
| Monitoring Group | Chair (click for bio) | |
|---|---|---|
| Affordable Housing | Rev. Steven Epperson Unitarian Church of Vancouver | affordable-housing@cuc.ca |
| Choice in Dying | Betty Donaldson Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship | choice-in-dying@cuc.ca |
| Democracy | Philip Symons First Unitarian Congregation of Victoria | democracy@cuc.ca |
| Diversity | (Open) | diversity@cuc.ca |
| Drug Policy | Rev. Mac Elrod First Unitarian Congregation of Victoria | drug-policy@cuc.ca |
| Economic Justice | (Open) | economic-justice@cuc.ca |
| Environment | Forrest Smith First Unitarian Congregation of Victoria | environment@cuc.ca |
| Gender & Sexual Diversity | (Open) | queer@cuc.ca |
| Globalization | Rev. Frances Deverell | globalization@cuc.ca |
| Peace | Colin Read First Unitarian Congregation of Waterloo | peace@cuc.ca |
(Web pages for each of these groups are currently being updated and will be available shortly.)
Led by volunteers, with the support of a part-time Social Responsibility Coordinator, these Monitoring Groups encourage coordinated action, as well as drafting and supporting resolutions for delegates at our Annual General Meeting in May.
