Newport Unitarian Church, 9a High St, Newport, Isle of Wight |
We are headed in a direction that will allow us to affiliate in time - we just need to grow a little more before we can join.
But unity and oneness is important to us - in our view, to take a separative stance in the spiritual life is to limit your spiritual life - so we are acting in the supposition that we belong in GA right now. So we take to heart all that is asked of us by GA, as well as all the opportunities offered to us by GA.
One of the most important offers is to form relationships with the constituent congregations nearby, who meet together as a district association - the Southern Unitarian Association. We're glad to have done this, and over the past year or so we have participated in the quarterly meetings and indeed have hosted one of them.
We cannot be at the next couple of meetings, but we wish all our SUA friends well, as they meet on 19 September, in Newport, Isle of Wight.
