I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So take above statements with a grain of salt as I have no degree either. :)juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092114046423201762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-54130754255058408022009-03-15T18:15:00.000-05:002009-03-15T18:15:00.000-05:00Thank you kind woman.

If you really want to learn where our big growing edges are in Unitarian Universalism then lead a youth group, chaperone a con or teach OWL. Our UU youth see all our communal warts.

I often think the things we study are even classist... like we have the time and energy to study food because we are of a certain class. I feel we are elitist, we work on an academic calendar (for the most part) and we have very little acceptance of those that don't have the same background. Sorry - I should take this to my own blog... I just wish this was an issue that we could finally really address.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
