It was a pleasure to be back at Stockton Unitarian Chapel for the Northern Unitarian Association AGM (it would have be Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarian Church, but we were not sure if the building would be available due to the impending sale). Members of the Stockton and Newcastle Unitarian congregations were joined by Helen Mason, Principal of Unitarian College. I (Louise Reeve) chaired the meeting, then we moved on to hear Helen Mason speak about future plans for training for Unitarian ministers and worship leaders. It led to a fascinating discussion on ministry and what it means in a modern Unitarian context. Thanks to all involved in organising it!
