I don't know, I don't think so though. But then again, I didn't know there were UUs in Norway, in fact I had never heard of UUs before I stumbled upon this thread, I had no idea they were so big.
We're actually not very big — there are an estimated 6,000 of us in the British Isles. But we like to think that significantly more people actually share are views and values.
LOL — very funny, Mandrake! I'm sure that was written by a Unitarian as well.
Here's another funny one — a song based upon 'I am the very model of a modern major general' from the musical the Pirates of Penzance:
I am the very model of a modern Unitarian,
Far broader than a Catholic, Hindu, Jew or Presbyterian;
I know the worlds religions and can trace their roots historical
From Moses through to Channing all in order categorical.
I'm very well acquainted, too, with theories theological,
On existential questions I am always wholly logical,
About most any problem I am teaming with a lot of views,
I'm full of fine ideas that should fill our church's empty pews.
We're full of fine ideas that should fill our church's empty pews!
We're full of fine ideas that should fill our church's empty pews!
We're full of fine ideas that should fill our church's empty empty pews!
I quote from Freud and Jung and all the experts psychological,
I'm anti-nuke, I don't pollute, I'm chastely ecological;
In short in matters spiritual, ethical, material,
I am the very model of a modern Unitarian.
In short in matters spiritual, ethical, material,
I am the very model of the modern Unitarian.
I use the latest language; God is never Father or the Lord,
But Ground of Being, Source of Life or almost any other word;
I never pray, I meditate, I'm leery about worshipping;
I serve on ten committees, none of which accomplish anything.
I give to worthy causes and I drive a gas-conserving car,
I have good UU principles, although I'm not sure what they are;
I'm open to opinions of profound or broad variety...
Unless they're too conservative or smack of righteous piety!
Unless they're too conservative or smack of righteous piety!
Unless they're too conservative or smack of righteous piety!
Unless they're too conservative or smack of righteous pie-piety!
I formulate agendas and discuss them with the best of 'em,
But don't ask me to implement, we leave that to the rest of 'em;
In short in matters spiritual, ethical, material,
I am the very model of today's religious liberal.
In short in matters spiritual, ethical, material,
We am the very model of today's religious liberal.
