In today's world, are we a "faith" (religious organization based on 7 religious principles) or are we the "Anti-racism anti-homophobia anti-transphobia chowder, coffee, and marching society (CC&MS)"? It appears more and more that we are the second. People appear to be defining UUism as an activist social group that runs marches rather than a religion. It's unfortunate, but that will soon lead to our demise.
To be a little more expansive, if we are a religion, people come for the religious aspect and do the social justice work. If we are a CC&MS, people come for the activism, and stay around occasionally for the potlucks and the coffee hour.
