What is your suggestion or idea?

Please do not use ALL CAPS—which is shouting in text—for emphasis.

What is the reason for your amendment idea?

Professionally-typeset documents use Italics or Bold, even Bold Italics, for emphasis. ALL CAPS, unless someone is dictating through a screen reader, is considered shouting and rude.

Have you discussed this idea with your congregation or other UUs?

mentioned on an e-mail discussion list; seeming agreement, definitely no objections

Sally, could you specify where you see all caps. I looked and didn’t see all caps anywhere in the text of the proposed Article II, just the word Love in the graphic.
