In an earlier post, I stated that the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Board of Trustees cut off funding to the Steering Committee of Young Religious Unitarian Universalists. This statement was incorrect. The cut-off of funding to continental YRUU was not an action taken by the Board, it was taken by UUA staff. A statement on this issue has been issued by UUA staff today: Link.

In emotionally-charged issues like this one, misinformation can be harmful, and I apologize to my readers that I did not check my facts before writing my post.

Update: A denominational politics wonk has informed me that UUA staff makes funding decisions, which are reviewed by the Board’s Finance Committee but rarely challenged in practice. The funding issue should be seen as separate from YRUU’s status as a sponsored organization; sponsored organizations are designated by the Board, not UUA staff; and at this point, YRUU maintains its status as a sponsored organization.
