Kayla, sorry for the delay, I came home to a very busy week at home, and  
barely got to my computer at all until today.

Poly Pride was organized in NYC. Other poly groups in other cities might  
have organized complimentary events, but I haven't heard about them this year.

A curious response from a minister, since relationships are an integral  part 
of a person's spiritual life -- as clearly demonstrated by wedding  
celebrations in churches. If the topic comes up again, maybe you can be prepared  with 
a few questions for the ministers, such as, "Have you ever known someone to  
struggle with spiritual implications of a relationship difficulty or a  
relationship choice? Can you imagine a person in a poly relationship having a  
similar type of spiritual implication with their relationships?"

I have read _Time Enough for Love_ several times. _Moon is a Harsh  Mistress_ 
is one of my favorite books.
