Beyond Us
(What’s Happening Elsewhere in the Denomination)
July 2010
2010 General Assembly
The UUA General Assembly was held in
Minneapolis this year from June 23-27. We’ll have a
report in the August Veritas of actions taken there.
Women and Religion
A women’s retreat has been planned for next
February to discuss starting a Northeast Cluster
chapter of the national group of UU Women and
Religion. The W&R Movement is alive and well in
the 21st Century. It exists in UU Districts that hold
Women & Religion programs and woman-focused
gatherings. It exists at General Assembly, where
UUW&R has an annual gathering and a booth in the
display area. And, so says the website, “it lives in
the hearts and lives of women and men who have
been touched by the many changes inspired by this
movement.” The gathering will be at Canterbury
Retreat and Conference Center in Oveido, Feb. 4-6,
2011. More information in the August Veritas.
