Dear Ministerial Colleagues,

Ministry Days will be held at the Signature Grand - a catering facility in Davie, Florida, a section of greater Fort Lauderdale. The Signature Grand is about 8 miles and 15 minutes from the Convention Center area; we will be providing shuttle services between the Hyatt Regency Pier 66, the Embassy Suites, and the Signature Grand (as well as special transportation from all of the UUA hotels for those with special mobility needs.) Monday registration and reception will be held from 4 to 8 at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66.

As of March 10, 2008 the UUMA is changing how it offers email aliases. As of this date we will be able to offer complete email accounts to our members - free of charge!! The new uuma.org email address will function similarly to a gmail account.

If you currently have a UUMA alias you should have received directions on how to configure your uuma email account to act as a forwarding email address (alias).

Welcome to the newly designed uuma.org - the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association's home on the web.

The site has been designed with ease of navigation in mind. The new search function should help you find anything you need and breadcrumb trail under the menu will help you know where you are and how to find your way back. Every new launch is bound to have a few wrinkles - we thank you for your patience as we iron out any issues so as to provide the best on-line services possible.

Three new sermon awards have been announced for the Spring of 2008.  In addition to traditional sermon awards, the Universalist Heritage Foundation, Promise the Children, and Interweave Continental have established sermon awards.  Visit the sermon award page for information about these and other sermon awards.

The UUMA is currently in the midst of a revision of the Guidelines and Code of Professional Practice. Chapters have been asked to review the proposed changes and send comments to the Guidelines Revision Committee. Below are the documents (PDF) available to assist UUMA Members and Chapters in the study process. For more information on the revision contact the Guidelines Revision Committee.

A site dedicated to the memory of Unitarian Universalist ministers.

About this Blog & FAQ (http://uuminmemorialpage.blogspot.com/)
This blog was created in December 2006 by Rev. Thom Belote, who holds the Publications/On-line Communications portfolio on the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association Executive Committee. Members of the Executive Committee and the Department of Ministry have wanted for there to be an on-line presence memorializing colleagues who served the UU ministry. This is an attempt to make that desire a reality.
