Pathways I thought it was called Pipedreams.

The four congregations were honored at the opening plenary right after opening ceremony (as were the 7 or 8 last year). The Fallston congregation was founded in 1995 and had been associated with the Joseph Priestley District but not the UUA until this year.

Yes, odd. Perhaps the original congregation disbanded or went dormant and this is more of a reorganization than a new start. There were two reactivations in recent years: All Souls Free Religious, Chicago, and First Universalist, Stafford, Vt.

It’s bizarre to me that the Fallston Church has been around since that the 1950’s but is only getting around to joining the UUA now. I mean, they have a building and everything.

This is the first year I only attended the first plenary during the Opening Ceremony and only briefly attended regular plenary sessions. Since I am interested in Growth and manage the UUA’s PR email list, I find this very interesting and will pass it on to PR-L. Thanks for the info.
