May the 4th Be With You

The Force is strong in the Burgh.

The General Assembly Traveling Chalice has traditionally circulated among various congregations in the region where GA is being held. The Local Area Task Force (LATF) coordinates the transfer of the chalice along with a personal invitation to attend GA. This year, we’re pleased to extend this opportunity to all Pittsburgh metro area congregations. If your congregation is within drivable distance to Pittsburgh, we invite you to submit a chalice request form. A notecard with bulleted GA information will be included in the GA chalice case. By featuring the GA chalice in local worship services, we help spread the word that all UUs are invited to attend General Assembly, online or in-person in Pittsburgh, PA June 21 – 25, 2023.

At this year’s multiplatform GA 2023, we will explore the power, possibility, purpose, struggle, and joy of meeting the moment as Unitarian Universalists. Whether you’re a first-time delegate or a long-time attendee, we invite you to join us to learn more about what will happen at GA this year. Members of the Board of Trustees will provide an overview, along with information for delegates regarding the business sessions.

This webinar will be 75 minutes in length, and a recording of it will be posted on this page at a later date. Registration is required.

Delegate Credentials for General Assembly are Now Available

The Credential Manager is now open and certified congregations can begin distributing member delegate credentials for General Assembly. These credentials allow member delegates, who register for General Assembly, to vote on business matters. Each delegate credential also includes a unique link, which can be used to vote in the UUA Election this June. General Assembly registration is not required to vote in the election.

Please note: Your congregation is only responsible for assigning credentials to its member delegates. Ministers and religious educators must retrieve their credentials via ga-delegate.uua.org.
