I don't think that the Unitarian Universalist Jews, and the Unitarian Universalist Buddhists will be far behind. We of course would welcom Unitarian Universalist Muslims, and Unitarian Univeraists Hindus, and Unitarian Universalist Humanists/Atheist, and of course just good ole fashion cradle born Unitarian Universalists and other mainline Protestants.<br /><br />The Unitarian Universalist is a big and inclusive church. Plenty of room for everyone.<br /><br />At our last Steering Committee meeting on 02/19/10 one of BUUF's steering committee members mentioned that she celebrated Imbolc.<br /><br />I want to learn more.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />David MarkhamDavid G.

People who died for some kind of spiritually liberal cause?<br /><br />Just askin'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
