2012 Annual Report UUSC Advances Human Rights and Social Justice in the United States and Around the World
Engagement, Innovation, and Impact UUSC 2012 Annual Report UUSC advances human rights and social justice in the United States and around the world. UUSC envisions a world free from oppression and injustice, where all can realize their full human rights. Global reach of UUSC’s human rights work 48 partner organizations in 21 countries THE AMERICAS AFRICA MIDDLE EAST ASIA Argentina Honduras Kenya Egypt Japan Bolivia Mexico Somalia Tunisia Myanmar Ecuador Nicaragua Tanzania Pakistan El Salvador Peru Uganda Philippines Guatemala United States Haiti UUSC works with a wide range of partner organizations throughout the world — bolstering workers’ rights, promoting the human right to water, defending civil liberties, and protecting rights in the midst of humanitarian crises. Want a comprehensive look at UUSC’s grassroots partners on the ground? Visit uusc.org/program_partners. 1 Dear Friends, When an organization has a huge budget, it can afford to waste a few dollars here and there without worrying that that profligacy will have a substantial impact on its mission. For an organization of UUSC’s size, however, every penny counts. That’s why we’re so proud we spend 87 cents of every dollar on programs. And it’s why we take the three themes of this annual report so seriously. First, engagement. We’re eager to use the people power at our disposal to optimize our effectiveness. Our members, most of whom are associated with Unitarian Universalist congregations, are natural born activists. They’re itching to get their hands dirty, be it on their computer keyboards taking online actions or by building an eco-village in Haiti. -

Second Unitarian Church of Omaha and First Unitarian Church of Omaha Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) Joint Group
Second Unitarian Church of Omaha and First Unitarian Church of Omaha Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) Joint Group Policy Date of Approval by Board of Trustees: July 2016 Policy Owners: Directors of Religious Education, First Unitarian and Second Unitarian The Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) Group for grades 7-12 is contributed to jointly by both the First Unitarian Church of Omaha and the Second Unitarian Church of Omaha. It was formed in 1998 through the efforts of the Directors of Religious Education (DREs) of the congrega- tions, Cheryl Wallace (First) and Anita Jeck (Second). The group has youth who are members of both congregations as well as youth who do not belong to either congregation. It is an open group. This policy was developed jointly in 2016 by both congregations and YRUU participants (parents, youth, past and present) to provide a framework for communications, expectations and structure. YRUU is an important ministry to both First Unitarian Church and Second Unitarian Church. This is a unique program that it serves the youth of both congregations and therefore the congregations need to stay in right relationship with one another to resolve problems, maintain transparency of programming and plan effectively for the future. YRUU is implemented though the Religious Edu- cation Programs of each congregation with guidance and oversight by the Directors of Religious Education and Ministers of both congregations. Our interactions with each other are based on a covenant of relationship jointly created at the beginning of the YRUU term. The covenant will apply to all participants in the group: youth as well as adults. -

THESIS SUBJECT THE THEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS TEACHING-S OF WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING- This Thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Edinburgh University by A. David Williams, A.B., B.Th., S.T.M., Oneida, New York. Submitted May 1st., 1937 DEDICATED to my wife for her encouragement and inspiration. PREFACE 1Jhe object of this thesis is to examine the teachings of William Ellery Charming. Channing's work in the cause of religion was not confined to the speculative for he was active in humanitarian reforms. Thus, after an examination of his theo logical principles, we shall consider the practical application of his religious convictions in his teachings pertaining to war and peace, temperance, the elevation of the poor,and slavery. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the Auburn Theological Seminary for the award of the Maxwell travelling fellowship which made possible my study at Edinburgh. I wish also to mention my good fortune in having had the supervision and inspiration of that noble mind and Christian spirit, the late Dr. Hugh R. Mackintosh. I gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the American Unitarian Society in its loan of books and valuable pamphlets. I sincerely appreciate the courtesies extended me while doing research work at the Association. In preparing this thesis I received valuable 111 assistance from the following libraries; Edinburgh University, New College, The Boston Athenaeum, The Boston Historical Society, Harvard University, Syracuse University, Hamilton College, Union Theological Seminary, Auburn Theological Seminary, and the Meadville (Unitarian) Theological Seminary.
