Re: [UUPoly-L] Short Conversation With UU Minister in a Major Midwestern City About Polyamory

[Anita Wagner <imapolygirl@yahoo.com>]

I'm one of those people.  Though I do contribute what I can financially, UU culture (or at least the culture in my own UU church) is such that service to the church is as highly regarded and expected as monetary contributions.  I devote a lot of my spare time to polyamory activism and so may not have taken the time to volunteer at church otherwise.  Hence, I'm secretary to our church's board of trustees.

"Major contributions" need not be financial.  They can be hands-on volunteering, serving on committees and the governing board, etc.  Some of the most valued members in my congregation are known for their service, not big checks.
