UUs enjoy the Opening Celebration.
Unitarian Universalists (UUs) enjoyed the 3rd annual UU University and the 47th annual General Assembly (GA) in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, exploring the theme "Common Threads."
Through our coverage, we hope you will soak up (and share) the programs and activities presented. General Assembly—live or online—is a wonderful place to absorb the essence and diversity of our faith. Enjoy!
GA on Streaming Media
General Assembly can come to your computer via streaming media! Our GA web staff has brought more than twenty hours of video to you.
