00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:41,370
Eric Cherry: The global
Unitarian Universalist story

3
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:46,300
has a long history with
many peaks and valleys

4
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:50,170
that occurred in
many historical eras.

5
00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:54,560
And it's been terrific to
have leaders of Unitarian

6
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,710
and Unitarian
Universalist communities

7
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:59,810
from around the world with
us at General Assembly

8
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:04,150
this year from places
where the global UU

9
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:09,610
story has roots and wings.

10
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:14,050
Representatives from
our global partners

11
00:01:14,050 --> 00:01:22,357

Derek Mcauley:
Building a better world

13
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:25,980
is surely what we're all about.

14
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:29,050
And I'm pleased to report
that British Unitarians

15
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:32,780
and free Christians were at
the forefront of the campaign

16
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:35,870
for same-sex marriage
which was introduced

17
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:39,230
in March this year
in England and Wales.

18
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:40,600
We built a coalition.

[APPLAUSE]

20
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:50,590
Derek Mcauley: We built a
coalition of liberal faith

21
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:53,780
groups that had a real
impact in breaking down

22
00:01:53,780 --> 00:02:00,670
barriers and promoting a more
inclusive and tolerant society.

23
00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:07,230

Unitarian Universalist

26
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,310
in Geneva and Basel
are healthy and active.

27
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:20,750
We have been blessed
with a steady stream

28
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:24,000
of gifted visiting
ministers and traveling

29
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,270
UUs whose visits
enrich our worship

30
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:30,070
and enhance our
developing community.

31
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:31,080
Keep coming.

32
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,998
We welcome you.

in Transylvania.

36
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,430
In Marosvasarhely we
established a special program

37
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:05,320
for families with
children younger than 14

38
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:11,170

45
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:45,090
We have new priorities
to guide our work,

46
00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:48,770
including fostering innovation
in the growth and development

47
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:51,310
of UU communities in Canada.

48
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:53,240
The Canadian Unitarian
Council Board

49
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,234

revisit our vision and mission.

00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:14,540
which is called the
Anniversary Day.

54
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:18,300
Which is the founding day of
the Unitarians in the Northeast

55
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:23,250
and it is on the
18th of September.

56
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:26,350
Recently, the government
declared a local economy

57
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:31,580
holiday where every Unitarian
would go to church, worship,

58
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:37,520
have feasts, and have fun
dancing through the night.

59
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,664
[SCATTERED APPLAUSE]

60
00:04:42,664 --> 00:04:44,080
Darihun Kriam:
Yes, like everybody

61
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,950
is having fun because
it's a holiday.

62
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:52,780
But Unitarians are
having the greatest fun.

63
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:55,860
And we have just closed our
special closing ceremony

64
00:04:55,860 --> 00:05:01,160
for 125th anniversary
which was last year.

65
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,516
Thank you.

Dorcy Erlandson:
Three years ago,

68
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,930
for the second time
in our history,

69
00:05:13,930 --> 00:05:17,440
the Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Paris

70
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,080
was asked to leave
a rental space

71
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,360
in a French Protestant
Church because a few members

72
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,660
of the Church
council did not find

73
00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:28,830
us appropriately Christian.

74
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:32,970
Luckily, after a long search, we
found a Protestant neighborhood

75
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:36,670
center that is dedicated
to welcoming all,

76
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:40,670
and whose leaders agreed to
rent us space for our worship.

77
00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:43,210
In addition to
having a home, we now

78
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:45,310
have a place where
we can participate

79
00:05:45,310 --> 00:05:48,670
in local social
justice activities.

80
00:05:48,670 --> 00:05:55,810

81
00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:57,690
Speaker 2: Good morning.

82
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,170
We European Unitarian
Universalists

83
00:06:00,170 --> 00:06:03,370
are best known for our
two annual retreats--

84
00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:05,760
one in the spring
and one of the fall.

85
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360
These weekend retreats offer
deep intellectual and spiritual

86
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,270
community that we
experience in many ways.

87
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:16,870
Participation in our
retreats is growing

88
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:18,640
and we are looking
forward to celebrating

89
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,243
our first European
GA in June of 2017.

to welcome any of you

93
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:34,530

95
00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:43,730
Speaker 3: In Kenya, the
Unitarian Universalist Church

96
00:06:43,730 --> 00:06:47,510
is developing congregations
and outreach efforts.

97
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:50,540
We are also adapting to
the problem of the climate

98
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:54,810
change which is causing the
food production to decrease.

99
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:58,660
This has made people to
shift from maize farming

100
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,790
to mixed farming to meet their
food and financial needs.

101
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:09,522
[APPLAUSE]

102
00:07:09,522 --> 00:07:11,230
Denisa Fialova: In
Prague, the Unitarians

103
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:16,380
overcame the occupation by the
Nazis then by the Communists.

104
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:20,070
After some time of looking
around and preparing

105
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:25,520
our grounds, we firmly hold the
chalice, share the song of hope

106
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,690
and welcome anyone of good
will to share the light

107
00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:42,310
with the new generations
of Unitarians.

108
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:44,340

parts of Negros, many of whom

113
00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:01,930

faith healers, animists.

00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:13,890

comprised of about 70%

117
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:20,220

[APPLAUSE]

119
00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:32,840
Eric Cherry: The global UU story
may have had its beginnings

120
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,110
many centuries ago,
but as you can see,

121
00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:39,169
it continues to
be written today.

122
00:08:39,169 --> 00:08:44,400
Its chapters include worship
and theological exploration,

123
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,690
organizing and social
action, and all the varieties

124
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:56,310
of church work and outreach
work that all of us do.

Derek Mitchell: The future
of the global UU story

126
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,020
will also be shaped
by our engagement

127
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:03,730
with many interfaith
and social justice

128
00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:05,560

00:10:53,090 --> 00:10:58,500
I have a-- I'm a critic and
I have something to say.

00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:00,490
Well, I'm sure that's
all well and good,

158
00:11:00,490 --> 00:11:02,455
but I remember a
powerful Ware lecture

159
00:11:02,455 --> 00:11:06,780
a few years ago about the
global HIV AIDS epidemic.

160
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:11,050
Was I the only one listening?

161
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:13,830
Peter Smith: That was
a very powerful speech.

162
00:11:13,830 --> 00:11:17,940
In response, we formed the
UU Global AIDS Coalition

163
00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:21,690
and have been working
ever since to engage UUs

164
00:11:21,690 --> 00:11:25,510

Why haven't I heard of that?

172
00:11:50,970 --> 00:11:54,130
Must be something new, right?

00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:12,560
to translate UU values into
support for social justice

179
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,480
struggles beyond our borders.

180
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Since 1984, the
Holdeen India Program

181
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,640
has supported over 100
organizations in India

182
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,730
upholding basic human rights in
the face of severe oppression.

183
00:12:24,730 --> 00:12:33,494
This is Unitarian
Universalism in action.

184
00:12:33,494 --> 00:12:36,030
Speaker 6: Well, I'm very
concerned about the human right

185
00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:42,600
to water and workers' rights
and humanitarian crises after

186
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,340
natural disasters happen.

187
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:48,520
Don't you understand
that these things matter?

188
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,190
Brock Leach: Well, as
a matter of fact we do.

189
00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:54,790
And that's why the Unitarian
Universalist Service Committee

190
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:56,910
works with partners
around the globe

191
00:12:56,910 --> 00:13:01,430
to make sure that every person,
regardless of race, religion,

192
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:04,310
gender or sexual
identity has access

193
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:07,840
to the fundamentals of clean,
safe, affordable water,

194
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,730
healthy food, a fair wage
and essential protection

195
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:14,250
from harm and exploitation.

196
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:18,940
For almost 75 years, UUSC
has put UU values into action

197
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:21,460
so that no one is left out.

198
00:13:21,460 --> 00:13:27,445
And together, we can realize the
full potential of our humanity.

199
00:13:27,445 --> 00:13:31,229
[APPLAUSE]

200
00:13:31,229 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 7: Ummm-- why
aren't we doing anything

201
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,930
at the United Nations?

202
00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:41,130
Bruce Knotts: Are you kidding?

203
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:43,140
We have been part of
the United Nations

204
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:44,370
from the very beginning.

205
00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:46,360
In fact, there was
a Unitarian who

206
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,330
drafted the language
of the Universal

207
00:13:48,330 --> 00:13:50,491
Declaration of Human Rights.

208
00:13:50,491 --> 00:13:50,990
We have--

209
00:13:50,990 --> 00:13:53,500
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

210
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,810
Bruce Knotts: John Peters
Humphrey, a Canadian.

211
00:13:56,810 --> 00:14:00,930
We have been at the forefront of
leading the faith-based caucus

212
00:14:00,930 --> 00:14:03,940
for the establishment of the
International Criminal Court.

213
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:06,830
We have overcome apathy
at the United Nations

214
00:14:06,830 --> 00:14:08,560
with regard to
sexual orientation,

215
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,340
gender identity, human rights.

216
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:12,710
Often we are the
only voice there

217
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:17,390
but we are growing in numbers.

218
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:19,680
We take care of all
aspects of human rights

219
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,010
and lead on this issue.

220
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:23,360
We also lead on the
issue of climate change

221
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,052
and sustainable development
at the United Nations.

222
00:14:27,052 --> 00:14:32,740
[APPLAUSE]

223
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:35,580
Jill Mcallister: Why do we need
all this international stuff?

224
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:38,750
Aren't UUs, UUs
around the world?

225
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:44,100
Aren't we all just the same?

226
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,730
Steve Dick: Well,
Jill McAllister, we

227
00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:50,070
need to stick together.

228
00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:52,520
There are less than
half a million of us

229
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,470
in the world at the moment.

230
00:14:55,470 --> 00:15:00,190
Actually, Unitarian
Universalists, Unitarians,

231
00:15:00,190 --> 00:15:03,370
and some who don't
even share that name

232
00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:07,980
differ greatly in practice,
story, and culture

233
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:15,100
in the more than 35 countries
around the world where we are.

234
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:19,270
The UUA is one member,
just one member,

235
00:15:19,270 --> 00:15:24,240
of the International Council of
Unitarians and Universalists,

236
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,780
the global network of liberal
faith encouraging collaboration

237
00:15:29,780 --> 00:15:32,680
between UU national
organizations

238
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,770
and fostering emerging
progressive faith

239
00:15:35,770 --> 00:15:38,280
communities in new places.

240
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,750
And its conferences
and gatherings

241
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:45,200
are open to individual
Unitarian Universalists as well.

242
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,824
So come along and join us.

243
00:15:48,824 --> 00:15:54,310
[APPLAUSE]

244
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:59,340
Speaker 8: So didn't Unitarians
form some kind of international

245
00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:01,260
interfaith group
a long time ago?

246
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:04,230
1900 or something like that?

247
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:07,272
Whatever happened to that?

248
00:16:07,272 --> 00:16:08,910
Hal French:
(SINGING) Oh freedom!

249
00:16:08,910 --> 00:16:11,090
Oh freedom!

250
00:16:11,090 --> 00:16:14,440
The International Association
for religious freedom

251
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,150
works globally for
religious freedom,

252
00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:19,660
the key to all other freedoms.

253
00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:21,720
And it's a big problem today.

254
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,820
Come to Birmingham, England
this August and help

255
00:16:24,820 --> 00:16:30,056
us overcome limits
on religious freedom.

256
00:16:30,056 --> 00:16:34,796
[APPLAUSE]

257
00:16:34,796 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 8: And one more thing.

258
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,170
There was a big gathering of
Unitarian Universalist women,

259
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:46,940
an international gathering
in Houston, Texas in 2009.

260
00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:52,310
What happened after that?

261
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:54,780
Tina Huesing: I'm
glad you asked.

262
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:57,560
A new international
women's organization

263
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,950
called the Women's
International Convocation

264
00:17:00,950 --> 00:17:04,079
was founded after
that huge meeting.

265
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:09,849
And it is planning a small
gathering in Bolivia in 2015

266
00:17:09,849 --> 00:17:15,569
and another large in
California in 2017.

267
00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:20,300
IWC also works with
international women's projects,

268
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:24,050
including a leadership
school in Transylvania

269
00:17:24,050 --> 00:17:28,664
and microfinance in Uganda.

270
00:17:28,664 --> 00:17:35,140
[APPLAUSE]

271
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:38,470
Speaker 9: Are there
really still churches in

272
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:41,420
other parts of the world that
are looking for partners?

273
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:45,814
I thought everybody
had one already.

274
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:47,480
Cathy Cordes: The
Partner Church Council

275
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,840
is here to help
you find a partner.

276
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,460
There are Unitarian and
Unitarian Universalist churches

277
00:17:54,460 --> 00:17:59,720
in England, Hungary,
Transylvania, India,

278
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,690
and the Philippines
that are looking

279
00:18:01,690 --> 00:18:05,260
for US and Canadian
partners right now.

280
00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:09,038
Maybe they're waiting
for your church.

281
00:18:09,038 --> 00:18:16,109
[APPLAUSE]

282
00:18:16,109 --> 00:18:17,150
Speaker 10: Hi, me again.

283
00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:20,050
One more question.

284
00:18:20,050 --> 00:18:27,100
Why doesn't the UUA help
any of you do this stuff?

285
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:29,060
Eric Cherry: Thank
you, program associate

286
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:33,980
from the International
Office at the UUA.

287
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,770
The UUA is deeply
supportive of all

288
00:18:36,770 --> 00:18:40,040
of these organizations
and especially the work

289
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,760
that all of these organizations
do collaboratively.

290
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,900
Most important of all, we want
to help your congregation know

291
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:54,220
how it is a part of
the global UU story.

292
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:58,680
But you don't have to
remember each organization.

293
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,620
We'll do that for you.

294
00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:04,390
All you have to do
is visit all of us

295
00:19:04,390 --> 00:19:08,830
online at uuinternational.org.

296
00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:10,160
That's it.

297
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,650
There you'll find invitations,
inspirations, guides, tools,

298
00:19:15,650 --> 00:19:18,850
and resources for
just about any kind

299
00:19:18,850 --> 00:19:23,820
of UU international engagement.

300
00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:25,310
Thank you very much.

301
00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:27,950
And please visit our
coalition online.

302
00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:30,400
[APPLAUSE]

303
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:46,027
