		The national headquarters of the UUA sits right next to the State House, and under Sinkford the denomination has made use of its prime slab of real estate to influence the debate over same-sex marriage.
		Last February as legislators began two months of debate on the amendment, the UUA draped a 16 x 20 foot banner along the side of their building that read, "Civil Marriage is a Civil Right-Unitarian Universalist Association." The banner was inescapable to legislators and lobbyists filing in and out of the State House each day.
		UUA is also doing work on the ground in Connecticut and New York, and Sinkford said all the denomination's advocacy efforts will be directed at the state level to build local support for marriage rights.

	The UUA - CUC split: A dissent
		The UUA and the CUC, as organizations, are dissatisfied with the present arrangement and have been for several years.

	PlanetOut News: UUA/BSA Compromise Crumbles
		UUA's friction with BSA began in 1992, when church leaders formally declared its opposition to BSA's position against homosexual members and Scout leaders.
		After months of negotiations, UUA announced on April 28 that a compromise had been reached: the offending passages in the manual would be removed, and the church would distribute with the manuals supplementary materials on homophobia and theological diversity -- at least, that's what Buehrens thought had occurred.
		Buehrens maintains that UUA has a duty to teach its religious principles to its young people, and that those principles include the kind of values that have led the church to take a strong stand for lesbigay and trans* rights.

	Prophet Motive: Mimetic Rivalry and the UUA
		I have been watching and considering the culture of the UUA as an arena of mimetic rivalry ever since I started reading the works of Rene Girard.
		The occurance of mimetic rivalry closest at hand within the UUA is the rivalry between the Christians and the Humanists.
		The overall picture is that theological tendencies compete with each other, feeling that somewhere, somehow, power in the UUA is being allocated and defined.
