    We're off topic, but it was my impression that Unitarian in this context
    referred not to rejection of the Trinity but to something like "the essential
    unity of all religions" (all paths being equally valid, etc.). Can somebody
    out there settle this?
    I'm not used to disagreeing with David on this list ... :-)

    Did you hear about the new Unitarian-Universalist branch of the Ku Klux Klan?
     They are going to go around burning question marks on people's lawns.
