First Sundays Adult RE. In 2014, Bruce Allen is going to lead Adult RE from 9:45am to 10:40am on
the first Sunday of each month in 2014. We will meet in our newly refurbished sofa room. We are
going to start by using Marcus Borg's Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time to consider the
meaning of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (as understood from Dr. Borg's perspective on the historical
Jesus, rather than from the perspective of the Christ of faith from a traditional Christian perspective).
Of course, the goal of this venture is to see how a fresh perspective on Jesus relates to and possibly
enriches each of our unique UU faith journeys. If you have any questions, please email Bruce Allen at
bruce.allen@uuwaco.org .

Meals on Wheels: Every Wednesday and Friday. POC: Cheryl Foster, cheryl.foster@uuwaco.org

UUFW RIGHT RELATIONS

The members of UUWaco covenant to be in right relations with one another, and our true covenant is
shown by our actions. Please feel free to speak with a board member if you have concerns about the
Fellowship. If your concern involves activities which are potentially unsafe or illegal, please contact a
member of the Board immediately.
Need help resolving a conflict at UU?
1. First, try to work it out respectfully with the person(s) in question.
2. If that fails, report the issue to the team lead in charge of the area (e.g., religious education,
social action, etc.).
3. If the conflict is still unresolved, report it to any member of the Board and request resolution via
the Right Relations Team.
4. The Board will create an ad hoc Right Relations Team (generally comprised of a small selection
of non-conflicted Board members) to review and respond to the issues raised. Non-board
members and/or outside persons may be included as appropriate.
5. Every effort will be made to create a Right Relations team agreeable to all parties.
