Synopsis

“We, the Member Congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association…” Karen Muñoz, Jordan Buckley, Billy Stokes, and Rev. Scottie McIntyre Johnson share their experiences.  Unitarian Universalism is congregationally-based; we have been (at least on our Unitarian side) since our Puritan ancestors declared it to be so in 1648. Each individual church governs itself, ordains and calls its own ministers, and completely supports itself. And, yet, also since 1648, our individual, autonomous congregations have voluntarily joined together for mutual assistance and support. Today, that mutuality is formalized through the Unitarian Universalist Association, the UUA. Our minister and members who recently attended the UUA General Assembly in New Orleans will talk about what it means to be part of such an association.
