It will be interesting to see whether state advocacy organizations like the <a href="http://www.uulmca.org/" rel="nofollow">Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry California</a> and <a href="http://www.uumassaction.org/" rel="nofollow">UU Mass Action</a> apply for and receive independent affiliate status.

(It will be 170 years old next year.) But my thoughts exactly about the rest. Plus, re: the NMUC, I often wondered how single-state organizations were allowed to become affiliates in the first place.

The reason given is that it is an one issue organization. This shouldn't affect the historic surviving Universalist State Conventions (NY, NC, Pa - does Ga still exist?), because they are not independent affiliates. However this does make one wonder about the Universalist Convocation, and even UUCF and CUUPS.
