Good God, I might actually get married in my own country.
I’m at home today, ill, a bit fevered and with a hacking cough. Got up to try to accomplish some work, and (to that end) checked my email. Vanity led me to check if anyone had added a comment to my blog, and noticed my […]
How did I miss this? This comes from The Chapel in the Garden, Bridport, Dorset, has its service of communion, and morning prayer (with evening prayer to come) on its website. It is a member of the Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, evidently on the Free Christian side.
The minister, the Rev. Roger Booth is also […]
I got a copy of The ABC’s of Lay Preaching, a recent product of the Midland Union of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches that looks very promising. It isn’t a long read, but my flight-wearied eyes haven’t been able to give it justice to day.
I’ll read it and review it ASAP.
A quick Google search shows […]
Looking to the UK, I can suspend my division between the Universalists and the Unitarians because what few institutional remnants of the Universalists were completely absorbed by the latter. The last Universalist-named church has been gone a half-century. More on that later.
I was struck (again) by how secular London is, and yet how Christianity, through […]
Well, Jonathan and I are back from London, and due to jetlag, I’ve got nothing better to do than get up an blog a little. The trip was quite a tonic.
If I had it to do all over, we would have had more time in and around Manchester, and less in London. In particular, […]
Off to London, and one of the niceties is being able to worship from amid the congregation. A Little Bird suggested the Brixton Unitarian Church, since the Bethnel Green church is closed on second Sundays of the month.
You’ll recall that’s an area with a substantial West Indian community (perhaps a roti after services?) and […]
I just got an email asking:
I am looking for a few Universalist hymnals — with words and music (preferably parts) for our small a cappella choir performances.
Any suggestions you could give me on titles, sources, etc. would be appreciated.
This was my reply:
Depends on how formal the litugical style you want. By far and away, […]
A quicky (not quite perfect on the cascading style sheet side: fixed; this is getting easier) but something I wanted to get online before I left town.
Another in a series of topical pages on Universalist liturgy: Child Dedication in the Universalist Tradition
The one rite currently featured is from 1839.
So, this is entry #100. A good time to mention that Jonathan (my husband) and I will be honeymooning postponed from July in England beginning tomorrow.
If I feel very inspired (and if he’s very tired) I may blog a little from London and Manchester. After all, I intend to visit churches and […]
Tom Schade (Prophet Motive) has just posted an excellent reflection on Unitarian Universalist counter-culturalism as respects the Pledge of Allegiance.
