Ivan, we are in the process of establishing a UU Church here in NW Jersey (Skylands Unitarian Universalist Fellowship)**. We have 24 members + a whole mess of kids - goal is to double in 12 months. We now even have a part-time minister *(2 Sundays/month) Do you have anything you could send me for me to pass on to him which deals with gay-bashing - and/or PD !! - with a religious bent ? Thank you. *He's young & excellent, still a student , not even ordained yet. I am sure he would deal with the issue. ** Me? I know I KNOW. I'm our resident conservative (on some matters). I prevent Boy Scout bashing for one thing! B.
