[stylist] sharing

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

At risk of being controversial and way too off-topic, we do formally
recognize Christianity and Judaism, going so far to hold official meetings
during convention that are listed in the official agenda. And there's a
faith group or division (can't remember if group or division) but in my
experience, it's primarily for Christian and Jewish beliefs. So why not a
pagan group and meeting? While I consider myself spiritual, I don't
affiliate with any religion, denomination or group, but for thos who do, why
not be inclusive if there's a need? I've also heard rumblings about the lack
of a LGBTQ group too. So maybe it's time people gather and attempt creating
such groups, especially if there's a need. You never know until you try,
grin.

Sem, No there is no Pagan group in the Federation yet. She said she is a
Federationist who is a Pagan.
