Well, Hubby and I are back from New York — and in my zeal to delete poker spam, I deleted six legitimate comments forever.
Including a kind offer to reveal the secret of the Fourth Universalist mosaic. (Do tell again Jeff, if you like.)
Won’t likely be blogging much because I’ll be on Day Trip business travel […]
Sorry gang if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been: Hubby and I are in New York.
Yesterday, we had a lovely day with PeaceBang, one of her friends, and another colleague I’ll call RDA. We saw dropped by Fourth Universalist Church, saw the Gates, and had a yummy Italian lunch.
More details and photos — including the […]
Dan Harper has begun blogging at Yet Another Unitarian Universalist Blog. Welcome aboard!
He reminds us that, for the first time in sixty years, the infant mortality rate in the United States rose last year. Lord have mercy.
This reminds me of the very engaging speech I heard on Monday — as a part of my […]
Peacebang challenged me to explain why I introduced her to a picture of the Rev. Michael Zelnaronok.
An odd choice on the face of it. Father Zelnaronok was the first priest of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church (OCA) in Sarasota, California. He had harrowing experiences with both the Nazis and Soviet Communists before settling on these shores. […]
Ernest Vandiver was one of those bridge “old South-new South” figures that leaves most people scratching their heads. He was the governor of Georgia from 1959 to 1963: his career includes his famous “no not one” segregationist defence, but the relatively mild transition from legal segregation (compare Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas . . .) during his […]
A while back, I was writing about the usefulness of Moodle, an open source learning management system, for Unitarian Universalists and others. (But on reflection, it might have been one of a set of articles obliterated by a worm.)
Some seminaries (Earlham, Bethany, St. Vladimir’s, Goshen, Southwest Episcopal) have Moodle sites for their students. Some […]
As I mentioned before, I am rather taken with some ideas at CucumberSandwiches.org’s Future Parish Office Project. I’m especially keen on the “installing wifi in the church yard” idea.
The idea isn’t so far-fetched. Some cities have a community of free wifi hot spots (mine does) and churches could be a part of that […]
Call me silly but I have a fascination with mixed-use (or interfaith) religious architecture with a particular period (post-WWII it seems) feature: turntable altars.
This interest was fostered by its odd, gee-wizz, and even its kitch character, but the original inquiry came out of some thought around the appropriate interworking of worship in governmental settings, like […]
A little bird asked me if I knew anything about a new, large church being started in the Joseph Priestley District. (Which, by the way has a nifty new website.)
There’s no secret.
“The New Large Church Task Force is an outgrowth of the Main Line Unitarian Church Growth Committee . . . ,” which puts the […]
Gary Amirault, who maintains the supurb Tentmaker site, has begun blogging. His style is a bit heavy and the choice of subjects aren’t my cup of tea, but reading his other work I know there are diamonds in there.
Victorious Gospel
