UNITARIAN-UNIVERSALIST ASSOCIATION (1977)
Whereas, currently there are efforts being made to insert the creation story of Genesis into public school science textbooks; and
Whereas,such action would be in direct contradiction with the concept of separation of church and state;
Therefore be it resolved: That the 1977 General Assembly of the UnitarianUniversalist Association goes on record as opposing such efforts.
Be it further resolved: That individual societies are urged to immediately provide petitions on the subject to be signed by members and sent to their legislators; and
Be it further resolved: That this resolution be forwarded to the textbook selection committee of each state department of education by the Department of Ministerial and Congregational Services.
Passed at the 1977 General Assembly of the UnitarianUniversalist Association.
