2024 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.
Excellent Programming
GA will offer dozens of outstanding programming selections (workshops, panel discussions, worship services, and other presentations) during GA as well as on-demand videos. Programs will provide attendees with concrete and usable tools to further the work, and the balance needed to explore multiple identity-based and theological perspectives.
Don’t miss out on this remarkable gathering of minds and hearts.
A Critical Year for Unitarian Universalism
Please consider devoting time to the important task of helping to define UUism for the next decade. Your input is important; it is critical that as many perspectives as possible be heard about the re-evaluation of our Principles. GA 2024 is totally virtual, which makes attendance equitable and attainable by all.
To take advantage of the early bird price break for registration, the Board will probably select Delegates earlier than in the past, so let Rev. Ed or the Board know you are interested.
