A new President - Rev. Peter Morales
An amazing Ware lecture from Melissa Harris-Lacewell
Workshops, plenary sessions, discussions with friends - old and new, worship.
They are all part of the General Assembly experience. Here are some links to this year's coverage:

A man was walking down the street, and commented on the giant  "Standing on the Side of Love" banner by the Salt Palace Convention Center (an image is attached below). I overheard him saying on the phone, "Well who wouldn't stand on the side of love? What do they mean by that?"

It brought two thoughts to mind:

1. Does he know that we mean tolerance of all people and situations?

2. We make assumptions when we put up a sign like that, that people understand our inclusive language.

After hours and hours of meetings, conference calls and discussion by the Interim Search Committee, we are pleased to announce our new Interim Minister - The Rev. Elaine Peresluha.

Rev. Peresluha was recommended by the Interim Search Committee to the Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees has enthusiastically and unanimously approved Rev. Peresluha as our Interim Minister.
