UUA General Assembly (GA)
June 20 @ 8:00 AM - June 23 @ 1:00 PM
Free – $315
General Assembly is the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists where we conduct business of the Association, explore the theological underpinnings of our faith, and lean fully into our mission and principles. In addition to the business, there is on-demand programming, featured speakers, and incredible worship services. There is marvelous music, and the GA choir entertains.
In the business meetings (known as General Sessions) during the GA this year delegates representing UU congregations across the country will vote on Article II revisions. The full Article II revisions will need two thirds of delegates at the General Assembly to vote in favor of the final language for adoption. Article II is the beginning of the UUA By-Laws.
Remember, the Article II revisions include the values that Rev. Ian is sharing from the pulpit and Chalice Circles are discussing monthly.
This Year’s Theme: Love Unites, Stories Ignite
In a world filled with division and challenges, the theme for this year’s General Assembly is a powerful reminder of the core principles that unite us as Unitarian Universalists. “Love Unites, Stories Ignite” celebrates the profound impact of love as a binding force that transcends boundaries and fosters connections within our faith community and beyond.
Our faith has always been rooted in the power of storytelling, and this year we’ll explore how our stories can ignite change, inspire compassion, and help us build a more just and equitable world. Through storytelling, we share our experiences, our dreams, our struggles, and our triumphs. It is through these stories that we can find common ground, deepening our understanding of one another and the world around us.
