This  article talks about efforts to really talk with each other in Utah. 
This  development is important to UUPA, because the UUA General Assembly will be 
held  in Salt Lake City in 2009, and I received advice that UUPA had better be 
 prepared to talk about polygamy by the time we get there with an Exhibit 
Hall  booth. Further, as the Utah issues begin to make national news -- which 
they  *will* if they make any progress -- UUs who are concerned about polyamory 
will  take notice. 

I encourage everyone on UUPoly to read this article and  begin to think about 
how we can talk about this challenging issue with our  ministers and our 
congregations--similarities, differences, UU response to the  Utah 
situation...Especially if you think you might attend GA in 2009 in Salt  Lake City
