Resolutions

Two resolutions are coming to the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Church of Christ's annual meeting from Keystone via the Justice and Witness Ministry Committee. Rich, Peg and Lauren are all on this committee and will all be in Pasco for the meeting this weekend.

One is on seeking a more just banking resource for the Conference. The other is about corporate personhood. The resolutions may well be altered before they get voted on so we can't give a final copy yet but if you would like to get some more information about the issues here are some resources from the national UCC and a national publication:
