Denominational Affairs Committee

The Denominational Affairs Committee is the congregation’s main link to Unitarian Universalist national and regional offices. It orders books and pamphlets from the UUA Bookstore, makes catalogs of Beacon Press available, and conducts an annual parish poll to determine Society positions on UU General Assembly resolutions. There is no current chair. The committee’s email is denominational-affairs@uuprairie.org.
