2. It's a good name, but a pretty dead group.

Thanks for your input, BlueIris! It just seems to me that we can accomplish two purposes here with a change of the general sort mentioned above. Elsewhere at the main religion forum I've suggested the need for a group for religious free-thinkers and seekers that also speaks to the need for greater community and common activity among those who follow even unique paths. I made the point that some of the DU religion groups are openly (and to my mind overly) hostile to anything and everything with the word religion attached to them. It was suggested that maybe this "Unique Parths" group would be the best fit for that sort of expanded vision of religious "unity within diversity", whether it's free-range spirituality, UU, Ethical Culture, Humanistic Judaism, or liberal Buddhist, or Bahai Unitarian, etc. The denominational names are not important, but to attract greater participation and draw more attention to all of our uniquely personal "freedom paths" in religion, while acknowledging that none of them exist in a vacuum, maybe adding the freedom-based UU community to the title would serve that purpose. However, if active participants in the group (so very few, judging from the number of posts over the past year or so) are not supportive of such a change, I can and will respect that.
