Quote from Frank Casper, co-author, Used to be UU

“On a personal note, let me say that I had something of an epiphany during the first day of this summit, and like all such experiences, it occured to me as though from out of the blue. I have not felt as free, safe, and welcomed in a UU environment for quite some time, perhaps a decade or more. I had truely forgotten what that feels like. No one was “out of covenant.” No one whined about being bullied or “harmed.” No one was walking on eggs for fear of using the wrong word, tone, or inflection. It was adult dialogue about serious matters conducted in a spirit of mutuality, affection, and good will. I am deeply grateful to Rev. Todd Eklof and all the good people who worked so hard to make this summit happen.”  – Frank
