GA Meetings 2017
This year saw our minister, Kate, and 6 members representing Bury Unitarian Church at the GA Annual Meetings in Birmingham in April: Abi Elliot-McGuffie, Val Chamberlain, Susan Mitchell, Susan Holt, Betty and Neville Kenyon.The overall theme for the Meetings was ‘Be Inspired’, and the opening ceremony with the parade of colourful banners from churches, chapels and affiliated societies from around the country embodied this from the outset. Between them they attended the full range of services, lectures, plenary (business) sessions and workshops. Full details of the resolutions passed, updates on previous resolutions, workshop content and related suggestions for consideration by the congregation are available on the noticeboard. The delegates left with a much greater sense of connection with the wider Unitarian movement, past and present, near and far which will enrich them personally and they hope in turn be of value to the Bury Church community. They felt welcomed and included and would encourage any other members who may be the slightest bit interested to give it a go. Click here for a full report |
