Joining up with our Unitarian neighbours
The prime things in the UK Unitarian movement are arranged around autonomous congregations. But it only works because they keep closely in touch with each other.
Congregations first group together in district associations, before gathering together on the national scene. For Ringwood, our district association is the Southern Unitarian Association, which operates over the central south of England and currently comprises Southampton, Portsmouth, Newport (Isle of Wight) and ourselves.
Delegates from these congregations got together for a business meeting on 6 June, and afterwards paid a happy visit to the Meeting House which long ago was owned by the first Unitarian congregation in Ringwood. It's now owned by a civic charity, but we are able to hire it for our worship meetings. The photo shows some of the people who were there.
