The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA)’s “Commission on Appraisal” has issued its 2017 report, Class Action: The Struggle with Class in Unitarian Universalism.

“In a time of vast and growing social and economic inequality, the 2017 Commission on Appraisal examines the impact of class and classism on Unitarian Universalism-its association, congregations, members, and friends. Classism thwarts Unitarian Universalism’s vital work of building community and giving life the shape of justice.”

The Commission on Appraisal was inaugurated by UUA bylaws in 1961. “The Commission is charged to review, study, and report on any function or activity of the Association that would benefit from an independent review, and to report the results at least once every four years to the General Assembly.”

The commission’s report can be purchased through inSpirit, the UU Book and Gift Shop, which calls it a “a must-read for all looking to live more fully into the faith and vision of Unitarian Universalism.”
