Unitarian Universalist Association's 50th Anniversary, 1961-2011

An Invitation to Remember, Reflect and Aspire

General Assembly (GA) 2011 in Charlotte, NC marked the 50th anniversary of the merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America. You can learn more about our celebration from UU World.

You are invited to remember the persons and events that brought into being the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in May 1961, to reflect on our denomination’s relevant achievements and struggles since then, and to chart new aspirations for the future we are determined to shape.

How You Can Still Be Involved

There are several ways to still get involved with our 50th Anniversary milestone celebration.
