I got an email today from Sherry Wells/Ŝeri Ŭelz (no relation) stating that the Unitarian Universalist Esperanto Network a.k.a. UU-Esperanto has been admitted as an associate member of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists, and that she and two others will present a program at the ICUU conference in Transylvania this fall.
[Unitarian|Universalist] Esperantists join ICUU
Good news and congratulations on the Esperanto initiative.
It’s unfortunate that only a few people know that Esperanto has become a living language.
During a short period of 121 years Esperanto is now in the top 100 languages, out of 6,800 worldwide, according to the CIA factbook. It is the 17th most used language in Wikipedia, and in use by Skype, Firefox and Facebook.
Native Esperanto speakers,(people who have used the language from birth), include George Soros, World Chess Champion Susan Polger, Ulrich Brandenberg the new German Ambassador to NATO and Nobel Laureate Daniel Bovet.
