Re: [UUPoly-L] Introduction

 Chris and I used to be members of the Unitarian Church of Norfolk.  
And we did several HaRP meetings there in the late '90s.  However, we've 
not been back for nearly ten years now so I can't speak to the current 
congregation's feelings.  There are certainly other military families 
there.  If Will Frank is still there, he and his wife used to have a 
"house mate" who lived with them for years.  Can't remember his name.  
He was the sexton for several years and was around and attended several 
of the HaRP meetings.  The three of you can certainly attend together.

I am a military wife who has been happily married for 16 years, and we have two children.  A dear friend agreed to join our family about eight months ago.  So to put a label on us I guess we are now what you would call a triad?  We are all excited and happy, but nervous and a little bit scared because this is unfamiliar territory.

We have just started going to the UU church in our area, but we haven't really met anyone so far.  We have been nervous about going together as a family, because the very first Sunday we attended there was a couple from work who were also there.  The military can be very harsh when dealing with people who have different sexual tendencies, and so we don't know if it is really "safe" for all three of us to go to the service and sit together and be seen...
