UUA General Assembly 2011

 General Assembly 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, will mark the 50th anniversary of the merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America.

• Join thousands of fellow Unitarian Universalists from across the country as we 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.
• Experience wonderful and uplifting worship services—morning and night—led by some of our best worship leaders, with glorious music and inspiring messages.
• Participate in our democratic process. General Assembly is the way that our faith does business, bringing together the distinctive character of our individual congregations.
• Hear terrific speakers. There will be hundreds of dynamic, entertaining programs and informative workshops.
• Connect with craftspeople and artisans, social action groups, professional and educational resources, theological schools, UUA organizations and staff, Beacon Press, and the UUA Bookstore in the General Assembly Exhibit Hall.
• Network with other congregation leaders, share best practices, and learn from one another. Return to your congregation reinvigorated and inspired to put your values to work.

Witness for our faith in moving and exciting ways as we look forward to and prepare for a special "Justice" General Assembly in Phoenix, AZ in 2012.
