Impressions from 2019 UUA General Assembly
This year’s General Assembly met in June in Spokane, Washington. While this GA, themed the “Power of We,” contained all of the usual inspiring elements, the feel of this GA was palpably different. New, younger and more diverse leadership at the helm of the UUA (and fewer hours in plenary business meetings) allowed centering on deeper discussion of what we want in the future of Unitarian Universalism.
2019 UUA General Assembly to Take Place here in the Pacific Northwest, June 19-23, Spokane WA
General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. Anyone may attend; congregations must certify annually to send voting delegates.
The Power of We
In a time of great challenge and heartbreak in our world, what does our faith demand from us? At this year’s General Assembly we will explore the power, possibility, purpose, struggle and joy of finding the path forward together as Unitarian Universalists. Attendees will leave inspired, with the tools needed to carry on the work into their own congregations and communities. Join us as we work for collective liberation inside and outside our faith.
