A flame within a chalice (a cup with a stem and foot) is a symbol of the Unitarian Universalist faith.

General Assembly 2013
General Assembly is for Everyone
General Assembly (GA) should be welcoming, accessible, and inclusive of people of all abilities. Our faith calls us to regard each human being with inherent worth and dignity. Beyond the physical accessibility of the facilities, we use ramps, captioning, seating cut-outs, and more. We endeavor to take the next step, to truly welcome people with disabilities into every facet of GA. Request accessibility services and reserve equipment now.
