 Justine Urbikas is the Unitarian Universalist Association Trustee for the Central Midwest District. As the first UUA Trustee who is a young adult, her election last year made history. She writes about her sermon: “We each individually generally know for what it is we strive, for what change we would like to be in the world. Our congregations, area clusters, regions, Districts, neighboring Districts, up to the UUA have individual - and collective - visions. These change and become broader as each target area becomes larger and larger with more constituents to please, and more varying viewpoints of what it is we are specifically working towards. And yes, the principles do unite us, as do so many other things we UUs commit ourselves to. But what measurable things are we striving for on our different levels? As the UUA embarks on the next steps of working under policy governance- developing our ends statements (end goals) - what is your agenda? What do you think the UUA should be striving to be and do?”
