Dear Members of UUPA:
As co-moderator of the "PolyQuakers" Yahoo group, I have the groups
support to invite "Friend-friendly" poly UUs to join us in our growth and
exploration. We're a young, small group, and still haven't fleshed out our
home page (this will probably begin this weekend), but we're on our way! We
especially invite anyone who is familiar/resonant with and/or curious about
Quaker process - since the group will partially serve and an organizing and
discernment touch point, as well as for general poly nurture and
support...."in the manner of Friends" I will also most likely begin to grow
as an information resource to Friends, about living polyamorously, and how
Meetings as a whole can "minister" can offer the full range of spiritual
hospitality to such individuals, relationships and families.
I'm happy to say that already in our small group, we have a nice
representation of diverse sexual orientations, gender identification/trans
and spirituality (ie: Quaker-pagan, Quaker-Buddhist,
Quaker-.....well...Quaker, etc. ) and age. I'm also happy to say that
Friends' LBGTQ group have successfully convinced the organizers of our
annual Gathering, to designate some bathrooms at the campus we're using this
year, as "gender non-specific"....interesting! This promted a discussion
about the "family plan" rate for attending the weeklong Gathering, which
limits the adults under such a plan to 2, as well as the tent camping fee to
2 adults per tent.........veerrryyyy interesting. :-D Has UUPA confronted
this at the annual gathering? (sorry I forget what you call it...but
"congress" is coming to mind for some reason)
We feel some wonderful inspiration and mutual support might be shared, by
"cross-pollinating" the lists. So....by all means....welcome.
If you would like to join us, please simply indicate you're responding to
my invitation on the UU list, and mention any connection to Friends you have
in practice and/or feeling. http://groups.yahoo..com/group/polyquakers/
(PS - in a little bit of "small world" serendipity...the originator of the
list, is good friends with UUPA's president)
Peace and Blessings: Tara
