Connections Column Excerpted from the [Florida] District Executive Message, November 2007: There is strong interest in growing our congregations and doing a better job of representing the Free Church to those seeking a genuine alternative to orthodoxy or nothing. I freely confess to being an evangelist for our faith. However, each time I address this issue, someone frets about "being like them," meaning, I suppose proselytizers of orthodoxy. To which I reply, I hope kindly, that we do not serve well those who do not know we exist. We need to show up for those seeking a spiritual home! We have a moral obligation to shine the beacon more brightly! Here's your factoid of the month: UUA research indicates only 1 in 20 have ever heard of Unitarian Universalism, let alone having any idea who and what we are. This ignorance and our failure to grow [2nd factoid: there are fewer enrolled Unitarian Universalists today than there were at the time of the 1961 merger!] are behind the UUA's recent marketing efforts, including our Tampa Bay campaign this coming February.
