Wendell Berry to speak at UUA gathering in June

Author-activists Eboo Patel and Wendell Berry will be among the presenters at the 2013 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association, which will be held June 19 to 23 in Louisville, Ky.

The theme of this GA is “From Promise to Commitment,” said Jan Sneegas, the UUA’s director of General Assembly and Conference Services. “This theme is expressed in a variety of content areas including environmental justice, immigration, and congregational life, including growth and stewardship.”

Environmental justice sessions will include ones on poverty in Appalachia, the “true cost of coal,” compassionate consumption, local food production, and climate change.
