    <p>What a great piece as food for thought just prior to the annual
      meeting.  I was thinking that this part of the recommendation
      information is something I want to think about this week.</p>
    <ol start="2">
      <li>
        <p><strong>Questions related to identity:</strong> </p>
      </li>
    </ol>
    <ul class="rteindent1">
      <li>Who are we as a congregation called to be right now? </li>
      <li>Acknowledging that every person in our congregation might have
        contact with many people outside of our congregation, who is
        part of the “we” we are considering in our decision-making? </li>
      <li>If we are legally permitted to gather in person before the
        pandemic subsides, what would be the social/emotional/spiritual
        costs of gathering? Who would we exclude? How would this fit
        with our mission and identity?</li>

        <p>The board has been making decisions to do online meetings
          based on Gov. DeWine's stay at home order.  Recently, the UUA
          published it's guidance for in-person gatherings.  If time
          permits, we will ask for thoughts from our congregants at our
          annual meeting this Sunday, May 31st at 11am. We will do this
          to aid in the democratic process in our decision-making. We
          will limit the input from each member to 1 minute so everyone
          who wants to has an opportunity to share.  We are attaching
          the UUA guidance so it can be reviewed before the meeting.</p>
