You join the World Wide
Unitarian Universalists
by writing your own Member Profile.
Introduce yourself to
the other members.
What is your name?
Where do you live?
How do you spend your time?
Do you want to explain anything
about your most significant personal relationships?
Do you have a personal home page for further
information?
What would you like the WWCC to be?
What talents and interests can you provide
to the WWCC?
For example, what committees seem most interesting
to you?
A few sample membership
files are available
for all to read on the WWCC home page.
[Sample
member profile]
Perhaps these will give you some ideas
about what to include in your own member
profile.
What you write for your member profile will
not
be permanent.
You may revise your member profile any time
you please.
The WWCC computerized
member profiles
are organized so that they can be recalled
(by other members only) in three
ways:
(1) by name.
An alphabetical list of all members appears,
beginning with their surnames, followed
by their given names.
From this list, you can open
the member profile of any other member.
(2) by geographical
location.
A map of the world appears.
Click any area you please, to discover what
members live there.
For example, you may be most interested
in discovering members who live near you.
The United States (where most members live)
is divided according to the UUA geographical
Districts.
And within each District, state lists are
maintained.
And state lists are subdivided as needed
by city, region, etc.—whatever is most appropriate
for that area.
(3) by spiritual path.
Because we are a very diverse collection
of individuals,
we may wish to discover other members
with whom we have something in common, spiritually
speaking.
For this reason, each member profile is
also cataloged
according to the following spiritual paths.
(You may select more than one spiritual path.
This list is always open to expansion, revision,
reorganization, etc.
If you don't fit any of these categories,
what new paths or sub-divisions would you
suggest?
Can you provide better names for these spiritual
paths?)

and where you might
be going next.
V. No Spiritual Path
For members who
reject all notions of spirituality.
Here's the format for
the heading of your member profile:
(1) Surname, Given Name(s);
occupation (optional)
(2) City, State, Country (or equivalent)
(3) e-mail: <your e-mail address>
(4) The URL for your personal home page
(optional)
(5) spiritual path: Your Spiritual Path
Then introduce yourself as you please.
After your member profile
is made available to all members,
you will also be given the secret code for
reading all member profiles.
The other member profiles may inspire you
to revise and/or expand in your own member
profile.
