Apparently, with only six weeks of notification, the Unity Church of Chicago (a wonderful organization) has pulled the plug on Eight:18 @ Unity, probably the premier monthly Chicago metaphysical event; the last one will be Friday, June 1, 2007. This is quite shocking, and I'm trying to get details. Hopefully an agreement can be reached, although I'm sure Unity must have a reason for deciding this; I just don't know what it is.
I also worry a tad because we have another group that meets there twice a month; is Unity decommissioning all outside gatherings?
Any information would be appreciated! If you know of a way that we can rebuild the harmony that seemed to exist between the two, please let Emily and Preston know. Failing a reconcilliation, Eight:18 will need to find a new locale; if you know if "the perfect new locale," it would also be great if you let them know. (I would be happy to convey your message if you would prefer as well.)
To the credit of everyone involved, the copy-of-a-copy I received of a letter that Emily and Preston put out about this speaks only lovingly of Unity and implores everyone to work towards finding a resolution that serves everyone's highest good.
More information can surely be found from their YahooGroup, GivePeaceADance.

Funlicious sent me more information so I have a better understanding of what is going on. If you are an impassioned participant or fan of Eight:18, you can email your support to KeepEight18Alive [at] yahoo.com; Emily will then print out the positive emails and hand deliver them.

Update: Eight18 found a reprieve and seems to be going strong. Hallelujah!
(Sadly enough, I haven't found the time to go in months.)
