TPUC Annual Membership Meeting: It was Our Turn!
The Trustees of the Pennsylvania Universalist Convention (TPUC) hold their annual membership meeting in early October every year. We rotate the hosting responsibilities among the six member congregations. We last hosted the meeting in 2016. So it was our turn in 2022 and we produced the first hybrid version of this weekend-long gathering. The past two years, we conducted the business of the annual meeting virtually on Saturday morning. We certainly took care of business, but missed being able to visit and be with our friends from around the commonwealth.
The Membership meeting was held on Saturday morning, Oct. 8. It included typical business items such as the brief reports from each of the six remaining Universalist Heritaged members, and a Keynote Address. This year we were thrilled to have John Leeker, the Director of Library and Archives at Meadville Lombard Theological School, as our speaker. In addition to his role at Meadville Lombard, he serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of UU Collegium, and Treasurer of the Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association. |
Along with his keynote address, John also participated as part of our afternoon programming where he showed us how to make good use of the Meadville Lombard Archives for our own congregational research!
In addition, there were:
Trustee and Alternate Trustees for UUsMA |
We are one of the six remaining Universalist-heritaged churches in Pennsylvania and have been active members of the Pennsylvania Universalist Convention that was revived in the late 1970’s by a group of like minded folks including members of this church.
