UUA Board Of Trustees May 17 2021 Zoom Meeting Question Regarding UUA Board Complicity In UUA Child Sex Abuse Cover-Up And Denial
The following "electronic communication" was sent to the UUA Board of Trustees on Friday May 14, 2021.
It is in response to the call for questions in this email confirming my registration for the upcoming May 17, 2021, meeting of the UUA Board of Trustees on ZOOM.
UUA Board Apology For UUA Child Sex Abuse Cover-Up And Denial

My question for the UUA Board of Trustees is:
When
will the UUA Board of Trustees properly, sincerely, and publicly
apologize for not only minimizing the extent and seriousness of UUA
clergy sexual misconduct in general, but shamelessly brazenly lying
about child sex abuse committed by UUA ministers, in the UUA Board's
seriously flawed (if not completely worthless) "official apology" for
clergy sexual misconduct that former UUA Moderator Jim Key
inappropriately inserted into the middle of his first Moderator's Report
during the 2014 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist
Association?
Until such a time as the UUA Board of Trustees responsibly corrects the record about child sex abuse committed by UUA clergy, indeed
what the UUA's Canadian attorney describes as "such despicable crimes
as pedophilia and rape", to say nothing of pedophilia and rape committed
UUA Religious Educators such as Steven Craig Bulleit, and prominent
Unitarian Universalist lay people such as Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein's
pedophile rapist First Parish Norwell parishioner Richard Buell, I will
consider the UUA Board of Trustees to be knowingly and willfully
complicit in, indeed actively involved in, the UUA's past and ongoing
efforts to cover-up and deny "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and
rape" and other egregious sexual abuse committed by UUA clergy and UUA
Religious Educators etc. You are ALL complicit in UUA clergy sex abuse
cover-up and denial, and some of you have been complicit for the better
part of a decade. . .
It was extremely UNwise for the UUA
Board of Trustees to mute me when I attempted to ask this question, or a
very similar one, during the UUA Board's "Open House" on May 11th, and I
expect the UUA Board to promptly and public apologize to me for doing
so. Muting me violated most if not all of Unitarian Universalism's Seven
Principles, most notably UUism's 4th Principle which calls upon all
Unitarian Universalists to engage in "a free and responsible search for
Truth and meaning". Unitarian Universalists make a complete mockery of
UUism's 4th Principle when they try to prevent clergy abuse victims
and-or clergy abuse whistleblowers from speaking the Truth about
Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse, be it clergy sexual misconduct or
non-sexual forms of clergy misconduct, indeed non-sexual forms of clergy
abuse. In addition to violating UUism's 4th Principle, muting me aka
gagging me, violated UUism's 2nd Principle which calls upon Unitarian
Universalists to affirm and promote "justice, equity, and compassion in
human relations." How does preventing me from asking a question about
the UUA Board of Trustees' past and indeed ongoing role in Unitarian
Universalist clergy sex abuse cover-up and denial in any way affirm or
promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations? As most of you know, I'm still waiting for the Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray led UUA to formally withdraw the false accusation of blasphemous libel that the Rev. Dr. Peter "Beyond Belief" Morales led UUA brought against me in June of 2012, publicly apologize for it during a UUA GA, and publicly disclose the Truth about just how many UUA ministers are in fact guilty of committing "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape", to say nothing of other sex crimes. . .

So here's another question for you:
When will the UUA Board of Trustees compel the Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray led UUA to formally withdraw the false accusation of blasphemous libel that the Rev. Dr. Peter "Beyond Belief" Morales led UUA brought against me in June of 2012, publicly apologize for it during a UUA GA, and publicly disclose the Truth about just how many UUA ministers are in fact guilty of committing "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape", to say nothing of other sex crimes?
I have a good number of other questions for the UUA Board of Trustees regarding past and ongoing UUA FAILure, indeed past and ongoing UUA obstinate refusal. . . to practice UUism's Seven Principles when responding to clergy misconduct complaints, but I expect the answer to my first and second questions to be provided during the May 17th meeting of the UUA Board of Trustees. In fact, I expect to be able to participate in that meeting as a public observer, just as I participated in the April 2010 meeting of the UUA Board of Trustees. Imagine where we might be today if the Gini Courter led UUA Board of Trustees had responded in genuine *responsibility* to the spirit that blew the whistle on the UUA's negligent and complicit mishandling of clergy misconduct complaints over a decade ago during that meeting of the UUA Board of Trustees instead of ignoring me. . .
Sincerely,
Robin Edgar aka The Emerson Avenger
