We need your brains, hearts, efforts, money and votes.

Voting is important to a group such as ours that holds the democratic process as a principle. Voting is both sacrament and communion here.

There is no creed or dogma and therefore one of the few things you give up by being active at SCUU and not becoming a member is the right to Vote.

You can put money in the collection plate -- some traditions really are universal. However pledging as a member helps us budget and plan.

Two digressions: Planning is also known as the art of very serious and deliberate guessing. You can pledge as a non-member (also known as a friend; a very good friend).

Jonathan Mayhew an early Unitarian minister (sort of) coined the phrase "No Taxation without Representation" which I think applies. Become a member, obtain the right to vote, and represent yourself! Lend us your brains and heart.

You won't burn in hell if you don't sign the membership book but you will make this place more like heaven if you do sign by showing your solidarity.

Some people may be reluctant to become a member because of the "sting" they experienced somewhere else. We hope you will see that SCUU is not like other places.

Nevertheless, being mindful and respecting the wishes of the minority while accepting the will of the majority are skills that take lots of practice.

There are members who thought long and hard before signing and members who signed almost the moment they walked in the door. Some were faster because they carry their own pen. Everyone has their own timeframe for their WOW moment.

Voting focuses our brains, hearts, efforts and money into a powerful positive force used to build beautiful dreams.

How do we pay for all this stuff? [link to answer]
