Re: [UUPoly-L] UUPA and independent affiliate status

I consider myself to be a Pagan humanist with Unitarian Universalist leanings. 
Hows that for a spritual Religious identity?!

I'm not UU...but close. As far as official affiliations are concerned, I'm a Friend (Quaker). I'd say liberal, unprogrammed Friends are probably par in the "openness" department, but as I begin working on bringing "polyamory" into the conversation, I'm very concerned about the wellbeing of polyamory within UU. I'm confident Friends are sincere in openness and deep consideration, but I know this will be subject to a discernment process, just as everything else has been.
