General Assembly 2007
Filed Under Conferences, GA 2007 | Leave a Comment
DRUUMM members were very busy at General Assembly 2007! The DRUUMM Steering Committee met with UUA President, Rev. Bill Sinkford, to discuss the direction of multicultural ministries within our faith; several seminarians from our community were recognized during the Service of Living Tradition; and over 65 folks showed up at our Annual Meeting. Minutes from the Sinkford meeting will be posted shortly, as will other reports from General Assembly.
Do you have a story or experience to share? How about photographs? If so, comment here, or pass that information on to the Communications Coordinator so that the rest of the community can hear from you!
