The Reverend Bud Murphy
Pastor, UU Society of the Daytona Beach Area
Saturday September 26th, half a dozen members of the Northeast Cluster attended a breakout session facilitated by Gaye Esperson and me. As we gathered in a corner downstairs at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of St. Augustine, we once again realized that we don't have a formula or map for this journey, but we are convinced that it is essentially about building community by becoming more mindful of our attitudes and choices regarding racism and other forms of oppression and being willing to share our awareness with others. So that is what we did.

FDR, 1944 FDR pointed out that while the original Bill of Rights served us well it was insufficient for the reality of our industrial economy. He then stated that it was time for a “second Bill of Rights.” This Economic Bill of Rights, as it would become known, included: · The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation - The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
- The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living
- The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad
- The right of every family to a decent home
