The First Unitarian Universalist Church of the Interent
is a new experiment in Internet Ministry.

    If you are looking for additional ways to extend your ministry,
perhaps your talents will match with the needs of the FUUCI.
Can you create cyber-sermons and engage in e-mail dialog?

CYBER-SERMONS NEEDED
_______________________________________________________

    The primary manifestation of the FUUCI is the cyber-sermon.
This is a very short version of a content-rich UU sermon.
Cyber-sermons are only three pages long,
which makes them more screen-friendly
—easier to read on a computer screen.

    Once we begin operating,
each month the subscribers of our e-mail list
will vote for their favorite proposals.
The proposal that gets the most votes
will become the next Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month.
Here is more information about the Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month:

    If you would like a bit more encouragement
to create shorter versions of your very best sermons, here are
"Ten Reasons to Create Cyber-Sermons for the FUUCI".
This Open Letter to UU Ministers actually describes 11 benefits:

E-MAIL DIALOG WITH READERS WORLD WIDE
_________________________________________________

    Even tho cyber-sermons will be the main manifestation of the FUUCI,
some dialog is likely to arise from these electronic presentations.
All such communication is completely voluntary from both sides.

    If you decide to become a volunteer staff member for the FUUCI,
you should indicate the limits
of your openness to e-mail dialog.
And if it becomes too burdensome,
you can change your decision at any time.

    Here is a file that explains a bit more
about the role of a volunteer professional for the FUUCI:
