The Hawai ʻ i delegation to General Synod 35 shared the aloha spirit with as many delegates as we could reach with the ribbon leis of...

As a first-time attendee, I was somewhat awestruck to be “in” fellowship with hundreds of other delegates from across the country. I experienced the UCC’s diversity in race, language, age, delegates from small churches, large churches, country churches, city churches, Open and Affirming churches, conservative churches etc.

Being in this Committee was very heartfelt, and my most memorable moment of General Synod 35 was when this resolution was introduced to the General Synod floor, all the committee members congregated around the spring of water, just off stage, dipping our hand inside, then to our foreheads to show our solidarity to this resolution. This resolution passed, just as it passed committee, with very minimal additions from the original.
