A new UU groupblog

Did you know the “Anti-Racism Anti-Oppression Multicultural Transformation Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Association” a.k.a ARAOMTC has a blog? (When I first saw the acronym, I thought it was Rosicrucian. Really. It’s early yet.)
See their brand-new creation Step by Step and offer a bit of encouragement. This is the make-or-break time in a blog’s life.

Fifth Sunday in February

Golly, few things are as infrequent as a fifth Sunday in February.
Combine Leap Year Day and and the exceptionalism some churches give to fifth Sundays (pastor off, communion, a particular kind of service) and today is bound to be a bit odd. And, to round things out, it is the first Sunday in Lent.
Any [...]

Deep-fried exegesis

Following up on S.’s (Across, Beyond, Through; what should I call you in the third person?) comment at “The Kingdom of God is like . . . “
Well, to tell the truth, Jonathan and I might say a cattle-and-doughnut senario is “according to prophesy” more than it “belonging to the kingdom of God,” but the [...]

“Book of Prayer” complete

Except for the psalter, in which place is a chart, I’ve finished the 1894 Universalist Book of Prayer, which I hope will be a help to those people who come looking for historic Universalist worship materials.
Funny: while correcting typos and formatting it for the web, I began to see how appealing a service this could [...]

Gulley, Ballou reviewed

Long-time Quaker Internet-correspondant, Chuck Fager, late last year reviewed If Grace Be True: Why God Will Save Every Person, by Philip Gulley and James Mulholland, with the Universalist classic, Treatise on Atonement, by Hosea Ballou.
There’s more than a book review here, but also a word about the trouble brewing over Universalism among Indiana Quakers, and [...]

A Boston view

I took this photo right after Philocrites and I parted, in front of 25 Beacon Street, the headquarters of the Unitarian Universalist Association, after a pleasant lunch.
These buildings are 14 and 16 Beacon Street. On the left, we have the building that houses my fave Congregational Library and the building that once house the [...]

Is Barth the be-all and end-all?

Pete Brierley noted in the comments:

I came across a comment that anabaptistlifewithchrist made about Karl Barth, who apparently said ‘I’m not a universalist but I think God might be’. Now I’m pretty sure that Karl Barth was not a universalist but I’ve been told that you are more inclined that way. I was wondering if, [...]

The Kingdom of God is like . . .

More documents online

I’ve added several documents – not news one; I’ve been making Universalist websites since 1995 but some of the doucments have degraded relative to standards – especially several elements from the 1894 Universalist prayer book, some of which have never been online. In rather short order, the whole prayer book, less the psalter, will be [...]

Migrating UniversalistChurch.net

The useful life of my current Internet host is about over. I’ll be moving the domain soon. With luck it should be a transparent move, but emails may bounce and pages fail to load. Please be patient, and if things still seem wrong in two weeks, let me know.
