FROM PROMISE TO COMMITMENT
The theme of this GA is "From Promise to Commitment." Building on the experience of Justice GA, we will gather in Louisville to examine and renew our covenant to our faith, one another, our congregations and the larger world.
Programs will explore the kinds of promises our religious communities are called to make as we seek to live out our Unitarian Universalist values; how we make these promises, with whom, and how we hold ourselves and each other accountable. Here are just some of the topics that will be addressed: environmental justice, the next steps in immigration justice, anti-racism, anti-oppression multiculturalism, organizing for justice, multigenerational work, growing Unitarian Universalism, leadership education, spiritual growth and theology. There will also be many, many opportunities to worship.
The 2013 Public Witness event at General Assembly is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, June 20. Join UUA President Rev. Peter Morales, Wendell Berry (author, spiritual environmental justice activist, economic critic, and farmer) and interfaith and community leaders in a witness for our Earth, our communities, and our future.

The Unitarian Church in Charleston(UCC) is partnered with the Unitarian Church of Küküllódombó in Ádámos county of the Mures district in central Transylvania, Romania (also known as Dâmbau on the Kükül River). As are most Unitarian congregations in Transylvania, the members are ethnically Hungarian, and speak Hungarian as their first language. The adage ""egy az isten georgyius musnai diakon", or "There is but one God" expresses the central tenet of the faith of these people in a church that was established in the late 1500s. UCC raises money to help with educational scholarships for the youth of the church that wish to attend the Unitarian High School located in Cluj.
