I seem to recall that restaurants have to figure no profit for at least a year (and often more), just to build name recongnition. -- but maybe this is why the UUA is an association, and not a denomination as the email guy of my tiny southern "emerging" UUA congregation; I often get emails from folks looking for a liberal christian church (which makes sense. as in my state, we have just 1 quaker, and 1 UCC congregation); certainly if i were church planting, I would go for a liberal old fashion U and U church, as it seems to me that there remains a hunger for this. At least here in part of the south. Is there a fund avalable to surport the next S. Quinn? We can argue that despite the lack of long term sucess for his mission, he at least kept the message out there. I would certainly send some money to a mission like this ((well, if I am speaking for the record, I would certainly send some money for someone who would pass by my way ....and would possibly for some other areas....)) wow, what a mess —
