I once won a T-shirt with the ICUU slogan printed on it because I was able to name the member organizations of the International Conference of Unitarian Universalists, that was 1997 and they keep adding new countries with a Unitarian and/or Universalist movement. In case you are confronted with a quiz at some UU meeting here is some information.

Hola y Saludos from la Congregacion Unitario Universalista de Puerto Rico. When UU's speak of diversity they often forget there is a whole world of UU's out there. The international presence of our liberal religion is very diverse, unlike many of the congregations of North America. There is much we could do to attract Hispanics. For example, although they are the largest minority in the US, very few of our congregations offer even one small group ministry in this language. How many of our websites link to the UUA's information in Spanish? What could your congregation do? How difficult is it to add one more link to your website? How much time would it take?
