Report from Annual Meeting: Exploring Southern Unitarian Universalist Identity April 30, 2011
The program of the District's 2011 Annual Meeting focused on Unitarian
Universalist identity and practice in the South. Does geographic
location and culture have any bearing on how we practice our faith or,
even more importantly, have any impact on how we exhibit hospitality and
invite others into our midst? Through worship and small groups, we
engaged with questions about living out our faith in the south.
You will find podcasts and other information about the speakers from our worship service reflecting on Southern Unitarian Universalism.
