UU thinkers everywhere
in the world
are invited to submit proposals for cyber-sermons,
which will be voted upon by the members of the FUUCI.
This is an experiment
of direct democracy.
It puts the potential readers of cyber-sermons
in charge of which proposals are selected
to be
Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month.
Not all spoken sermons
translate well into cyber-sermons,
which are read on computer screens all
over the world.
But each person who proposes cyber-sermons
to the FUUCI
can select the most content-rich
of his
or her creations.
And even if a first
proposal gathers few votes,
that proposal can be revised in light
of what
the FUUCI members are
actually selecting.
As the FUUCI grows in
numbers and signficance,
it will become an honor to have one's
proposal selected as
Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month by the FUUCI.
Ministers of local UU congregations
will be invited to announce in their
newsletters
that a particular sermon has been selected
by the FUUCI
as Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month.
At the end of each
year, FUUCI subscribers will be invited
to review all the cyber-sermons released
that year
and vote to honor one as cyber-sermon-of-the-year.
Likewise, each decade
the subscribers will vote among
the cyber-sermons-of-each-year to declare
one as
the cyber-sermon-of-the-decade.
Occasionally readers
of cyber-sermon distributed by the FUUCI
will visit the local congregations of
ministers
whose sermons they have appreciated on
the Internet.
If you are a UU minister
considering creating cyber-sermons for
this world-wide audience,
and you need a little more convincing,
