					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m going to go with a few different possibilities for influential:

Rev. Scotty McLennan (inspiration for Gary Trudeau&#039;s comic strip character and current minister and director of student religious life at Stanford)

Robert Fulghum-author and also minister

Rev. Bill Sinkford has a certain level of influence due to his standing as our president.

Rev. Schultz likewise was the UU president and ran Amnesty Intl.

I can think of a lot of well known ministers (Kim Crawford Harvey comes to mind), but not sure they are well known outside UU realms.  

Likewise, I can think of some musicians in our midst (Carolyn McDade) that might have  UU following, but not sure if they would be considered known outside UU circles.   

We have local and state politicians that are UU in many places (CA&#039;s newly elected secretary of state for instance, Debra Bowen).  Again, can&#039;t come up with the national level.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[CC is right- with the defeat of the only UU congressman, that puts Matt at the top of the heap. Actually he was probably was already in real influence, but this makes it official.

After Matt, I would put Philocrites, who has received national notice, then the rest of the UU blogosphere, with CC herself topping that list. The other contender for top of the second tier would be Jason of &quot;The Wild Hunt&quot;, as his readership extends beyond the UU world. I, too, am read by non-UU Pagans, to judge by emails I&#039;ve gotten.

Not to disrespectful of anyone mentioned above, but quite a comedown from the old days.]]></description>
