[UUPoly-L] Update on Fellowship status and Alternatives to Marriage Project

[AnnSchranz@aol.com]

Hi, everyone.   This is a quick note to say that I have been  awarded Final 
Fellowship status by the Ministerial Fellowship Committee (MFC) of  the 
Unitarian Universalist Association of congregations.  I will be  recognized at 
General Assembly at the end of June in Minneapolis.   

The award was bittersweet, however.  I opened the MFC's letter on  Monday, 
two hours after having returned from the hospital where my dear friend  Fred 
had just died.  He would have been 83 years old in June.  I  lived with 
Fred in Anaheim during my internship in 2004 - 2005.  And so  life goes, with a 
little of everything.
 
Also, new since I last checked in, I was elected to the Board of Directors  
of the Alternatives to Marriage Project (_www.unmarried.org_ 
(http://www.unmarried.org) ).  When people ask me  what the Alternatives to Marriage 
Project is all about, I often say that  AtMP has two main messages:  
 
1) Single people are people, too.
 
2) There are many ways to have integrity in caring, loving  relationships.  
 
I encourage UUPoly list subscribers to check out the Alternatives to  
Marriage Project, if you have not already done so.
