<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Hi Darryl,<BR>As you know, Membership thought it
would be best to limit it to newcomers; no firm decision from W&M, although
it's mainly directed toward newcomers. While we've been working on it, we've
discovered that there's info we thought "everyone" knew that everyone
doesn't.<BR>As for philosophy of inclusion, please direct comments to the
groups--Board? Social Justice?-- who were drafting it (this is a draft, so I
presume they would be interested in your reactions) for final consideration at a
congregational meeting in September.<BR>Thanks for your review,<BR>Adeline<BR>On

<P>Adeline,</P>
<P>Some comments ....</P>
<P>Is this new folder to be given to newcomers or everyone?</P>
<P>Under philosophy of inclusion. The language of the first two
sentences sound very ideological and academic. Can we find
words/expressions that the visitor/newcomer can relate too more easily?
Also, can we include in this section, the idea that we welcome people with a
wide variety of religious beliefs that inspire them to live a moral life as
expressed by our principles. "Whatever beliefs are helpful to you in
leading a moral life" are words that have resonated with newcomers. You
could even include some examples within our congregation (Christians,
atheists, Buddhists, pagans, agnostics, Jewish, Sikh are some I know of).
<BR></P>
<P>Thanks,</P>
<P>Darryl<BR></P>

type="cite">Hello, friends, <BR><BR>Today is your deadline to send
corrections, suggested edits, etc. for the new folder we hope to try this
summer. I have done some more work on the piece - reduced type size, added
more info in some areas, corrected some typos that we had noticed-- and in
general, I am happier with it. This is still a draft version; I need
additional staff photos (Tabatha, Lela, Becca, Emily (kind of faked one of
Emily-not very good) and good contact info for Becca Immele to request her
photo (or take one), and Kat's edit on the Worship section. (I'm OK with the
way the philosophy of inclusion fits now.) When you've had a chance to
review the piece, or review this second draft, please respond with your
edits. <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>Adeline <BR><BR><BR>
