Recap: General Synod 34 elects new leadership, changes frequency, witnesses justice
The United Church of Christ’s 34th General Synod had it all.

Indianapolis and the Indiana-Kentucky Conference played hosts from June 30-July 4. It was the UCC’s first in-person national gathering since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides the business side of this “family reunion,” delegates and visitors came together to worship, break bread, embrace and shed tears of joy.
