General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the association through democratic process. General Assembly 2014 (June 25-29) in Providence, RI, helped our association live into a future where our “Love Reaches Out” to share our faith both within and beyond our congregations’ walls.
