<p>In my version, it takes five Unitarians to change a light bulb.
One to change the bulb, and a committee of four to watch to make
sure that the power does not go to her head.</p>

<div><font face="Arial Narrow">We choose not to make a
statement either in favor of or against the need for a
light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have
found that light bulbs work for you, that is wonderful.
You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance
about your personal relationship with your light bulb.
Present it next month at our annual Light Bulb Sunday
Service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb
traditions, including incandescent, LED, fluorescent,
3-way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are equally
valid paths to luminescence.</font></div>
