Re: [UUPoly-L] Nuance and the Church of LDS

[Elizabeth Gish <egish@hds.harvard.edu>]

I'm replying to the list here because I thought I would respond to 
Richard's question and raise another of my own.  I attend Harvard Divinity 
School and I am a UU, so of course, most on here know my denomination's 
stance on poly relationships.  I recently gave a sermon that involved 
critique of the UUA's position on polyamorous relationships and I would be 
happy to share it with anyone who is interested.  I also wonder what 
discussion has taken place on this list previously about the argument (that 
has been made to me in response to my sermon) that the risks, potential 
negative publicity, and liabilities that would come with official UUA 
support of polyamorous relationships outweigh the potential benefits to 
society, polyamorous individuals, or families.  I'm sure this has been 
discussed here before and I don't want to rehash the issues for those that 
have already been through them likely many times, but any thoughts to the 
listserve or individual emails would be helpful as I think about the future 
of our denomination and my individual ministry.
Blessings to all, Elizabeth
