There's a great deal of attention I've seen given to this at G.A. and D.A. and in churches -- and on lists -- in the last several years. That indicates that it's an issue, and that the issue is being given a lot of attention and concern. Does it need to be enshrined in the Bylaws and amidst Article II?ogrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910505029382522110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22125486.post-46259912359552512642008-09-06T18:27:00.000-07:002008-09-06T18:27:00.000-07:00This business about cultural misappropriation is a...This business about cultural misappropriation is apparently very important.<BR/><BR/>Earlier reference:<BR/><BR/>http://archive.uua.org/ga/ga01/2038.html<BR/><BR/>Looks like some of us have been unknowingly engaged in offensive behavior.
