A Proclamation

 

 

Whereas, the special days and moment of a people, the holy-days, provide the occasions for community, 

Whereas, participation in the events of this community are critical to establishing a sense of spiritual and moral purpose, 

Whereas, this denomination has been exemplary in teaching our children and adults the customs, beliefs, and cultures of other religions through acknowledgment of holy-days, 

Whereas, we have an obligation to create our common future and to hand-on the future, 

Whereas, we are a self-defining community, serving as cultural guides in our liberal faith,  

Whereas, we have established principles which may be used to guide our celebrations,

Whereas, we have a beautiful symbol to light the celebration in the time of winter darkness,

BE IT DECLARED:  That the Unitarian Universalist Church of Little Rock establishes the first Unitarian Universalist Holiday, illUUmination, A Celebration of the Chalice, to occur annually from Saturday evening to Sunday evening on the weekend preceding December 25, for the purpose of celebrating our unique past, present, and future. 

Be it so declared on the eighteenth day of December, nineteen-hundred ninety-four.
