I’m one of those odd people that enjoys bus travel, and (like many) a bargain.
I’ve long been a fan of “Chinatown buses” but perplexed that these various lines have served New York from Washington and Philadelphia, but there was no service between Washington and Philadelphia.
The matter has been corrected. New Century Travel now offers two […]
What would John Murray drink?
Even though he wasn’t given to liquor, I can’t imagine he’d say no to a pint from a hometown brewery. Alton, in Hampshire, after all was known for its brewing and hops production.
Well, there’s a modern (micro)brewery there. Real ale. Lovely stuff, I bet, with names like “Alton’s Pride” and “Stairway […]
There are days I think I must be a bad Universalist.
I just haven’t read — or read to completion, or with comprehension — many of the standard historic works of the faith. But who reads Elhanan Winchester’s Four Dialogues on the Universalist Restoration or even Hosea Ballou’s Treatise on the Atonement for the pure pleasure […]
My father got his college education paid by the GI Bill. The old GI Bill, that is. I know that did a lot of good for a lot of people.

Labor Day let me put a few more chapters of The Cornerstone online. Now, I think I’ve found my next text-online project: the 1920 sesquicentennial history From Good Luck to Gloucester.
While getting The Cornerstone online, I’ve gone back to find websites that link places mentioned in the book, and thus are of note in Universalist history. “Universalist London” (Georgian Nonconformist London, really) is — as far as I can tell — concentrated in Moorfields and a small slice of Whitechapel. Hubby indulged me over […]
Chapters one and two of the John Murray young people’s biography can get read from the new Cornerstone http://www.universalistchurch.net/faith/cornerstone/.
