Slate <strong>of</strong> Candidates for UUA Electionwith old friends and new. Many <strong>Unitarian</strong><strong>Universalist</strong>s have a narrow vision <strong>of</strong> ourfaith because their experience is limitedto the congregations they have beena part <strong>of</strong>. Our faith is larger than ourcongregations, and this can be seen atGeneral Assembly. Like others, I wish tomake General Assembly more financiallyaccessible, but also for it to maintainspace for us to be together as one faith.Debra Gray BoydFirst UU Church <strong>of</strong> Columbus, OHThe Rev.
