A Date Which Will Live In U*U World Infamy - December 7th, 2000

On Thursday December 7th, 2000 - a date which will live in U*U World infamy - The Montreal Mirror "alternative weekly" newspaper published this "image tarnishing" report about how The Emerson Avenger aka Robin Edgar was suddenly and deliberately (to say nothing of falsely. . .) arrested by "ground forces" of the City of Montreal as a result of totally bogus criminal charges being brought against him by outrageously hypocritical Montreal Unitarians -

A long-running dispute between the Unitarian Church of Montreal and a former member who has picketed the institution for two and a half years further intensified last Sunday, when the protester was arrested for causing a public nuisance.

As is his custom prior to every Sunday service, Robin Edgar was greeting worshippers outside the church with signs such as "A Church that endorses abusive clergy misconduct," "A Church where justice is perverted," "Church of the Apathetic Throng," "Solar Temple Cult," and "Church of the Bad News."

December 7th, 2000, is by no means the only historic date that will live in infamy in the history of the Unitarian Church of Montreal and the greater U*U World. They did a pretty good job with November 22nd, 1999, to say nothing of other infamous U*U dates. . .
