The UUMA aka Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association Convocation 2009 In Ottawa Was A Wonderful Success But It Did Get Rained On. . .
Both figuratively and literally. . .
Did I forget to mention that *The* Transcendentalist Super Hero aka "dangerously deranged psycho/sociopath" known U*U World-wide as The Emerson Avenger put in an appearance at the 2009 Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association Convocation aka 2009 UUMA Convo at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa Ontario a couple of weeks ago?
I do believe I did. . .
More about how I kind of rained on their once in seven years "parade" a little bit, and I do mean only a little bit. . . somewhat later. For the time being here are a few of the U*UTube videos that I *shot* during my impromptu peaceful public protest aka non-violent direct action against the UUA's negligent and effectively complicit mishandling of my own and other people's clergy misconduct complaints, as well as the anti-religious intolerance and bigotry of Rev. Ray Drennan and other "less than excellent" U*U ministers who make a total mockery of U*U Principles and the UUMA Guidelines by going out of their way to insult and defame people, or otherwise verbally and psychologically abuse them, in various ways.
Needless to say I was also protesting the UUA's shameful failure, if not outright refusal. . . to provide any real and tangible restorative justice for ALL victims of clergy misconduct be it clergy sexual misconduct, or non-sexual forms of clergy misconduct. In fact, if I am to believe one well-informed U*U expert about clergy misconduct within the The U*U Movement, the UUA has not provided ANY real restorative justice to ANY victim of clergy misconduct in the last decade or so. . . Even I find that a bit difficult to believe, but that is what this well-informed person told me recently. When I asked the what restorative justice the UUA had provided to victims of U*U clergy misconduct since pretty much promising to do so about a decade ago now this Unitarian Universalist minister replied with one single four-letter word -
"None". . .
If this well-informed person aka *expert* clergy misconduct advocate says "None" when I ask what restorative justice the UUA has actually provided to victims of clergy misconduct, U*Us can be pretty damned sure that genuinely *restorative* justice provided to victims of U*U clergy misconduct has been very little, or indeed *none*. Is this how the UUA is Standing On The Side Of Love for people who have been victimized by "less than excellent" U*U ministers, including but by no means limited to being "demonized and marginalized" by abusive U*U clergy or otherwise "dehumanized through acts of exclusion, oppression, or violence"?
Apparently so.
AFA*I*AC concerned the UUA is Standing On The Side Of *Love* for victims of U*U clergy misconduct in the sense of the tennis terminology meaning zero, nothing, nada and has shamefully been doing so for well over a decade now. . .
U*Us will be relieved to know that no "less than excellent" U*U ministers were "anally impaled on the Statue of Liberty's torch" or otherwise harmed during the "filming" of these U*UTube videos.
