Unitarian Universalists (UUs) enjoyed the 4th annual UU University and the 48th annual General Assembly (GA) in Salt Lake City, UT, held June 24-28, 2009.

This General Assembly featured a public witness event in support of immigration reform to benefit all families; a Prom-for-All; the Ware Lecture, delivered by professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell; and a Sunday worship service led by Rev. Abhi Janamanchi, senior minister of the UUs of Clearwater, FL, and Rev. Sinkford.

Online GA coverage includes print and photo reporting, and more than twenty-five hours of video. Live-blogging from selected Plenaries and other events is also included, and audio postcards give a sense of General Assembly through captured impressions and sounds from our events.

Event Coverage

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!
