1. What is FUUCI?
The
First Unitarian Universalist Church of the Internet
is an experimenting virtual community
in cyber-space.
In November 2008, we established our Facebook Page.
2. What is the age-range for members?
FUUCI began its life
as an online community
for UU young adults world wide.
In UU usage, "young adults" means ages
18-35.
But FUUCI never excluded people beyond
age 35.
3. How does one become a member?
Anyone in the world
who has an e-mail address
can become a member of FUUCI.
Right now FUUCI exists as a Facebook Page.
Join Facebook: http://www.facebook.com.
All you need is an e-mail address and a password.
Then search Facebook for the
"First Unitarian Universalist Church of the Internet".
Click the 'like' button.
Watch the number of members increase by one.
Later, we might decide to apply for a UUA-hosted e-mailing list.
If this happens, details will appear here.
4. Does it cost anything?
No,
membership is
completely free of charge.

5.
Does FUUCI emphasize any particular
philosophical
or theological point of view?
No. Diversity
of one of the greatest strengths
of the UU movement.
And FUUCI seeks to represent
as much of this diversity as possible.
For those who know little about UUism,
the following is a partial listing
of some of the themes within UU spirituality.
Such themes are not exclusive, of course,
since the same person could embrace women's
spirituality,
earth-centered spirituality,
and neo-pagan spirituality all at the
same time.
These themes are organized by similarity.
The largest group of Unitarian Universalists
call themselves "humanists".
I. Theistic Spiritual Paths
A. Jewish UUismII. Non-Theistic Spiritual Paths
B. Paganism
C. Christian UUism
D. Deism
E. Earth-Centered Spirituality
F. Panentheism
G. Green Spirituality
H. Pantheism
I. Transcendentalism
J. Process Theology
A. HumanismIII. Individual Spiritual Paths1. Existential SpiritualityB. Buddhist UUism
2. Women's Spirituality, Feminist Spirituality
Unitarian Universalists are free to define their own spiritual paths.
{Please add to this
list of themes;
we want this listing to be as comprehensive
as possible.}
If
FUUCI stands the test to time,
new themes will doubtless emerge
as the years, decades, & centuries go by.
Unitarian Universalism is not tied
to anything in the past.
The
First Unitarian Universalist Church of the Internet
is governed democratically by its members.
We select the next cyber-sermon-of-the-month
by a direct vote of all the members.
7.
Can members really select sermons
based only on title, synopsis, & outline?
8. Does FUUCI have any professional leadership?
<> Yes, professionals with leadership abilities9. What does FUUCI do?
FUUCI exists primarily as a Facebook Page.
Our main service is a cyber-sermon-of-the-month.
The
FUUCI
library
preserves all published cyber-sermons.
FUUCI is basically
an independent cyber-organization,
run by and
for
its members.
The following disclaimer,
which appears at the top of our list of cyber-sermons,
illustrates the free and open-minded nature
of FUUCI:
THE
AUTHOR ALONE
IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE OPINIONS
EXPRESSED IN ANY CYBER-SERMON
The individual
author of each cyber-sermon
bears primary responsibility for all the
facts and opinions it contains.
Each subsequent individual or organization
that re-distributes cyber-sermons
cannot be held responsible for errors
of fact
or controversial opinions cyber-sermons
might contain.
Persons who are not
familiar with Unitarian Universalism
are hereby informed that UUism is a decentralized,
creed-free, liberal
religious movement.
There is no UU Pope, no UU Bible, and
no UU dogma.
There are several traditions
from
which Unitarian Universalism springs,
but these do not limit
individual freedom
of belief—or non-belief.
