[Choir] music committee

[Stephen Finner]

Being a Universalist, I can assure you that there is (or will be) a special
place in heaven for any UU who was able to prevent the birth of yet another
committee.   After all, most of are committed to reproductive freedom and
the right of congregations to birth or not to birth a committee  (which
leads me to the serious request that you remember Proposition 5), and here
was the perfect opportunity and you rose to the occasion.
