Many UUs are scattered
to the four corners of the world,
sometimes thousands of miles from the
nearest UU group.
But now e-mail and access
to the Internet
makes it possible to create an online
community of UUs world-wide.
And besides the convenience of being any
place in the world,
members of the cyber community can participate
in the activities
whenever it suits them—any time of the
day or night,
not just on Sunday mornings.
When you are ready to take part in the
communication,
you sit down at your computers and log-on to our Facebook presence.
You can see the other members, the published cyber-sermons,
and join the discussions in
whatever degree suits you.
And now a little history.It may seem strange for an organization
The idea of a computer
community quickly caught on.
And people began sending in their e-mail
addresses
even before the FUUCI web page was established.
There was obviously a need to communicate
with other young adults,
even if they were on the other side of
the world.
And electronic communication
—which was just catching on in the 1990s—
was the most obvious means.
But at Thanksgiving
1999 this decision was reversed.
The UUA decided not to host the mailing
list
for this organization because it might
be confused
with the official young adult efforts
of the UUA
and because the UUA does not host mailing
lists
for any of its 1,000 local member congregations.
The UUA mailing list for our on-line community was abolished in January 2000.
