From my church's August newsletter (reported by Anna Belle Leiserson):

During the Friday morning business, Moderator Jim Key, on behalf of the UUA board, gave a formal apology to victims of UU clergy sexual misconduct. Of course an apology is nothing without follow through, and a few minutes later Natalia (Natty) Averett, Convener of
the Boundaries Work Group, gave a report outlining progress made and future steps. The Rev. Gail Seavey and Anna Belle Leiserson were there, and both were moved and impressed. Gail was particularly grateful to Natty for emphasizing the importance and urgency of this work.
The link to listen to the board’s apology can be found at www.uua.org/ga/virtual/2014/business/iii/296122.shtml. Note that it begins at minute 8:10. The link to Natty’s board report is at www.uua.org/ga/virtual/2014/business/iii/296123.shtml and starts at minute 10:30.
