Board of Trustees Report on the Status of the Black Lives Matter Sign

Following last summer’s General Assembly in Columbus, Ohio, UCE’s attendees and several other interested congregational members became involved in several long e-mail conversations about the status of our Black Lives Matter sign.  At the July Board Meeting, the Trustees voted to appoint a task force to advise us on the issues raised in these conversations.  The task force submitted a report to the Board in August, and followed up with a presentation to the Board and further discussion at the October 19, 2016 meeting.

The task force consisted of Heike Eghardt, Sarah Vanderwicken, and Karen Courtright.  They were joined by Martha Holman for an edifying presentation and discussion at the October Board meeting, during which the Board accepted their report, including their recommendations.

Here is the report for your information.
