Retired Librarian Anne Hedrich was asked to head the collection.
“It just fits right in with our #UUvalues & our #UUprinciples,” Hedrich said.
“It’s a #SocialJustice issue — #AccessToInformation, it shouldn’t be restricted.”

Ask away Junia.
It's part of "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning" which was Unitarian Universalism's #4thPrinciple until the #UUA ditched UUism's "Seven Principles" during the 2025 #UUAGA.

Few Unitarians aka #UnitarianUniversalists self-identify as Christians these days.
Many #21stCentury U*Us are atheists or agnostics.
Also, in my 3 decades worth of experience & observation, U*Us don't practice what Jesus preached.
U*Us don't even practice #UUprinciples aka #UUvalues.

My #HumanRights to #FreeSpeech & #FreedomOfThePress cannot be stripped away by U*Us.
They can only be violated. . .

When #UnitarianUniversalists violate human rights, they violate #UUprinciples aka #UUvalues.

"Just whatever" disregards the claimed #7principles of #UnitarianUniversalism, but I have noticed that many #UnitarianUniversalists, inc. #UUAclergy & #UUA leaders, are only too happy to disregard & violate #UUprinciples aka #UUvalues.

Unitarian Universalists can be VERY disappointing.
In my experience & observation, most #UUs are religious poseurs who don't take UUism's claimed #UUprinciples & #UUvalues seriously.
That might explain why SO few people choose to be U*Us.

"We cannot apply principles of equity and justice that we ourselves have not learned."
#UnitarianUniversalists have yet to learn that they cannot authentically promote #UUprinciples of #equity & #justice they obstinately refuse to apply *inside* #UUism.
emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2016/08/uu-w...
You need to learn to distinguish between the #UUprinciples & #UUvalues #UnitarianUniversalists claim to believe in & how U*Us actually behave. . .
Does this look like #Unitarians trying to find common ground so that they can work with others in good will?

If Victory doesn't "practice" organized religions because by the time she was 5 or 6 years old, she recognized the hypocrisy, she could not be a #UnitarianUniversalist because #hypocrisy is rampant throughout #UnitarianUniversalism. . .
Most of the U*Us I know make #aTOTALmockery of #UUprinciples.
What #UnitarianUniversalists aka U*Us claim about themselves in their professed #UUprinciples & #UUvalues etc., & how U*Us actually behave can be two VERY different things. U*Us can be VERY #antidemocratic & they're outrageously hypocritical in multiple other ways.

My "beef" with the First #UnitarianUniversalist Church of Houston on the Sade Perkins fiasco is that FUUCH leaders chose to censor & suppress people who were posting critical comments on FUUCH's Facebook page & YouTube account etc.
Silencing critics by deleting & blocking violates #UUprinciples.
I have been asking #UnitarianUniversalists to return to their claimed #UUvalues since the mid-1990s, however they not only abjectly FAIL & obstinately refuse to do so, but continue to wantonly disregard & flagrantly violate #UUprinciples.

#UUism #UU #UUA
The #7principles of #UnitarianUniversalism do not "reflect deeply-held values" of #UnitarianUniversalists aka U*Us, nor do they "serve as a moral guide" to U*Us.
Many U*Us can't tell you what 2 or 3 #UUprinciples are, let alone recite all 7 or 8 of them.
The hypocrisy of U*Us is truly astounding.
The #UUA threatening me with prosecution for #BlasphemousLibel for blogging about #UUpedophiles & #UUrapists violates most #UUprinciples & ignominiously terminated a #Unitarian tradition of opposing #BlasphemyLaws.
UUA President Rev Dr Sofia Betancourt is #complicit in this misuse of #BlasphemyLaw.
“hide post/reply for me” is one of the best things on here for #UnitarianUniversalists who want to hide #UnitarianUniversalist #ClergySexualMisconduct that includes #ChildSexAbuse, & #UUA cover-up & denial thereof.
But using “hide post/reply for me” violates #UUprinciples.
#UUism #UU #UUhypocrisy
Once again you're being dismissive, disrespectful, & quite frankly just a tad foolish.
Believe me when I say I have LOTS of experience dealing with hypocritical U*Us who affirm & promote #UUprinciples, but abjectly FAIL, & even obstinately refuse, to live up to them aka practice them.
#UUhypocrisy
This official #UUA stance is in violation of #UUprinciples, ignominiously terminates a centuries old #UnitarianUniversalist tradition of opposing #BlasphemyLaws, & deems #UUpedophiles & rapists to be sacred to #UnitarianUniversalism.

Thanks for noting that.
Unitarian*Universalists like to present #UnitarianUniversalism as the "nice" religion but, while #UUism looks good in terms of it's purported #UUprinciples & other claimed ideals, too many hypocritical U*Us are only too happy to disregard & violate #UUvalues.
#UUA #UUAGA
Can you explain to me how minimizing the extent & seriousness of #UnitarianUniversalist #ClergySexualMisconduct, & denying any #ChildSexAbuse committed by pedophile*rapist #UUAclergy, in a #UUA "apology" aligns with #UUprinciples?

Be assured that there's no shortage of #hypocrisy in the #UnitarianUniversalist "church". In fact, in light of how #UnitarianUniversalists wantonly disregard & flagrantly violate their claimed #UUprinciples & ideals, #UUism may be even more #hypocritical than other religions.

Text from our mission and beliefs: We are united in our broad and inclusive outlook and in our values, as expressed in our Eight Principles. We are united in shared experience: our open and stirring worship services, religious education, and rites of passage. Our work for social justice, our quest to include the marginalized, and our expressions of love.
At UUCGT, we are united—not by creed, but by shared values and a commitment to love, justice, and inclusion. From stirring worship to bold action, we walk together in a spirit of openness and compassion. #UUPrinciples #InclusiveFaith #UUCGT #LoveInAction #allarewelcome
LOL! #UnitarianUniversalists seem to be incapable of living up to Unitarian Universalism's #7principles. In my experience, few U*Us can even recite #UUprinciples, let alone sincerely practice them. The #hypocrisy of the U*Us is Truly astonishing.

The #4thPrinciple of #UnitarianUniversalism calls for "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning" but few UUs practice it, and it seems to have been dropped in the recent revision of #UUprinciples. Sadly, many if not most UUs believe they can believe whatever they want.
#UUism #UUtheology
I'm just making it clear that Unitarian Universalists cannot believe whatever they want. It's a common misconception about #UnitarianUniversalism that leads to UUs believing rather questionable things that do not stand up to the scrutiny of Reason.
#UUism #UUA #UUtheology #UUprinciples #7principles
Unitarian Universalists do not get to believe whatever they want if their beliefs are out of alignment with #TheTruth.
UUism's #4thPrinciple calls for 'a free and responsible search for truth and meaning'.

Sadly, many #UUs flaunt #UUprinciples.

Here's another way I relate to U*Us who demonstrate values that are offensive & fundamentally different from my own.
