Re: [UUPoly-L] norfolk poly/UU church

I married my wife in that church in 1993, but was never a member. We wanted
a church wedding, and they were the only people who would do it, except MCC,
an excessively Christian church. Maj-brit Johnson was pastor at that time.
It wasn't until years later (two years ago) that I joined the UU, at 1st UU
of Richmond.
