What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Very much in many ways. It is a life journey and I expect it to be a long one.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: There are Christian Unitarian Universalists and those of many other beliefs. A Unitarian brought the Christmas tree to this country and one also wrote Jingle Bells.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Unitarian Universalists have a strong belief in the worth and dignity of every person, so we are leaders in the fight for the rights of gays/bi/les/transgender people. This has caused a dispute with the Boy Scouts of America, an organization we've long supported.

What do you like about this subject? My faith helps guide me in my life - it gives me the strength to make my own decisions, set my own course no matter how different from the norm.
