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

I have to say that I can't begin to fathom the "wost case scenario"
that you are picturing.  I guess in the worst case scenario, the UUA
could become more like the United Methodist Church in organization and
also suddenly become nitpicky and fascist about unapproved groups, but
that would be a complete 180 and would also completely cause the
denomination to crumble quite aside from any poly issues.

Okay, I have some naïve questions... I realize this will not make up for
having the UU official "support", but bear with me

1) In a worse case scenario, where we might have to close this web-group, is
there any reason we can't start another web group under our own name?

2) Is there any reason people can't continue to do sermons on poly themes?
I have done sermons at my church on various topics -- it's always been
between me and my minister.

3) Is there any reason we can show up at UU congregations and form
"relationship discussion groups"?  I find just about any group can get space
where I go. The only issue is whether we get the space for free, but if the
people involved were members (especially the one asking for the space) I
suspect it could be done.

4) Is there any reason people can't show up at UU events/services hand in
hand in hand?  I've done it.

These are quiet ways of influencing others and finding others who might
agree that poly is a good thing, or at least a valid choice for others if
not themselves.

I don't want to start a war here... just trying to think positively as
something who has been around both UU and poly for quite some time.
