About this eBook

 The major presentations of the 2017 Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly (GA) in New Orleans. Addressing the theme “Resist and Rejoice!” this General Assembly, Unitarian Universalists pushed each other to strive for more radical transformation than we’ve ever dared to embrace before. In her foreword, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, the first elected woman president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, writes, “I hope that Unitarian Universalists will continue to do the deep work of personal, cultural, and institutional change so that we might be stronger in the work to build the Beloved Community within and beyond our faith. This is our call and our opportunity.”

 

The collection includes the Berry Street Essay, which for the first time was multivocal and featured a panel of speakers including Rev. Dr. Kristen L. Harper, Rev. Mel Hoover, Rev. Ashley Horan, Rev.
