General Assembly

standing on love

I (and my fun little traveling gnome, seen above on top of LOVE), traveled to Salt Lake City a few weeks ago to attend General Assembly, the annual gathering of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).

I wish I could have taken you all with me, as the experience of so many UU’s gathered together is very energizing.  If you ever feel that we are a tiny and isolated religion, it would give you a new perspective to attend GA.  There were Unitarians there from Transylvania, India, and Africa, representing their own particular heritage within our global religion.  There were UU’s there from all around the United States and Canada.  In the exhibition hall, there were tables for Christian UU’s, Buddhist UU’s, Humanist UU’s, and many more, as well as tables for causes from peace in the middle east to water rights in California. 

I was thrilled to experience GA, and I’ve brought back many ideas from the various lectures and seminars I attended.
