Repost? Hi Jen, May I talk with you about linking or reposting your sermon on the UUPA sermons page? Email me at [email protected] Any other UU sermons on polyamory out there? Thanks, Jasmine

The "Christian Marriage" that initially was a hurdle for me was the unspoken assumption that monogamy is automatic and unquestionable. And in fact, simply asking one's spouse to TALK about nonmonogamy -- without taking any action -- has the potential to seriously stress or even break up a...

The minister's contact info is available on the the York church's website. If you make an appointment, then you won't have to try to "catch" her after the service. Jasmine

I'm glad you found this message board. I remember how I struggled when we first became poly. I spent months and months wrestling with my faith. Then I finally figured out that for me, becoming polyamorous was part of BECOMING-- of becoming more authentically the person God created me to be...
