Foreword (2004)

A note on this electronic edition

The Ministers Association of the Prairie Star District of the Unitarian Universalist Association published Bring O Past Your Honor in 1986. In 2003, members of the UU Prairie Heritage Task Force electronically scanned the text of a copy of the original version, made corrections to restore fidelity to the original, and entered text data into a Microsoft Word file. The intention of the Task Force was to preserve the out-of-print document and to make this work more widely available. Neither the Heritage Task Force nor the original authors have updated or otherwise altered content of the original text.

The pages in the original document were numbered in two sections, 1 and 2. In this reformatted edition, the pages are all numbered consecutively. (The pages of the web version are not numbered.)

This edition has been formatted further, applying the same typeface and size to each section, creating a standard page layout, and minimally editing for punctuation, spelling, and capitalization. (Somewhat more formatting and standardization has been added to the web version to make navigation more transparent in the absence of a printed volume.)

The Prairie Star District Heritage and Archives Committee appreciates the contributions of Victor Urbanowicz, Carol Jackson, Betty Gorshe, Ann Morton Cunningham, Lowell Hanson, Gil Hanson, Carolyn Witthuhn, and Dick Shelton.

Rev. Karen Gustafson, chair of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association, Prairie Star District Chapter, authorized this reprint project.
