Heritage Members Participate in the UUA’s General Assembly

Brittany Packnett, Ware Lecturer at General Assembly 2018

Five members of Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church—Rae Jane Araujo, Russ Araujo, Tracey DuEst, Bob Lamb, and Ellie Lamb—traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, to participate in the Unitarian Universalist Association’s annual General Assembly (GA). Bob, Ellie, Tracey and Russ were Heritage Church’s delegates to GA. Rae Jane and Russ were Heritage’s delegates to the MidAmerica Region’s annual Assembly, which was held at the same location just prior to GA. Bob and Ellie also joined their voices with UUs from dozens of other churches in the GA Choir. The assembly took place from June 20 to 24, 2018.

GA consists of worship services, workshops, lectures, public witness, and other activities, as well as the governing business meeting of the UUA.

You can find many on-demand videos, transcripts, and workshop materials from GA at the UUA GA Online webpage.

Below are some scenes from GA.

Gaines was the last person to be ordained as a Universalist minister, weeks prior to the 1961 consolidation of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America.)

At the Unitarian Universalist Association’s General Assembly for 2018, a few members of the Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest (on the left side of the street), and a much larger group of Unitarian Universalists quickly assembled to sing (right side of street).
