Questions for the UUA Presidential Candidates

The UUA presidential race is just getting underway. UU Humanists would, of course, like the next UUA president to understand and support humanism in the association, help us attract humanists to Unitarian Universalism, and to increase the influence of our progressive philosophy in the culture at large. Our friends at the Humanist Group of the Unitarian Church in Summit, NJ have suggested that we solicit questions from our members and local groups in order to “crowdsource” the task of coming up with the best questions to pose to the candidates. This would be a great topic for a humanist group meeting at your congregation or on-line if you do not have a local group.

What one or two questions do you think would allow us to discern the candidate’s stance on humanism? Use this form to submit yours. The Summit group will help us collate and combine duplicate questions, from which the UU Humanist Association board of directors will select. We will pose the questions to the candidates and then share their responses with you via our website and newsletter. Based on their responses, the UUHA may also choose to endorse one of the candidates. Thanks in advance for your help!
