Questioning the Seven Principles

In her Address last Sunday, 30th April, Jennie questioned the value and relevance of the 7 UU Principles. Passion is needed to enliven their blandness: "high-minded but remote"... "not necessarily spiritual"... "Jolly fine secular values that any liberal thinker would generally agree with".
These 7 UU Principles also fail to give guidance. Splendid goals - but not the path nor the tools for Spiritual Growth. They need an injection of Love, Curiosity, Respect, Justice, Transformation, Generosity, Equity...
While Universalism is unobjectionable, it's just not historically or theologically relevant to our Church here.
"We need our own," Jennie concludes. You may - or may not agree.
Listen on for those observations that have led her to that conclusion!
