If you give a 5 minute speech on the House floor on a Tuesday morning when 12 Congressmen or their aides are in the chamber, you haven't actually "addressed Congress."
So no, Stoneking did not address the UN General Assembly. This is misinformation that is being used to make this event into something that it wasn't.

Pathetic. Some people love to hate, especially since the messenger was Stoneking and the message was
Acts 2:38.
Say what you will, try to downplay it as much as you can. The UN Secretary General and the President of the General Assembly were presiding over the event. It was at the United Nations, in the General Assembly. Regardless of there not being any heads of state in attendance, it was an official event of the UN General Assembly.
Not every UNGA event is a legislative session.
If a person gives a speech in the Senate or House during an official session of Congress, it doesn't matter how many members are absent, it's an address to the Senate or House.
