Speaking of “holding membership” non-locally, I “hold” mine with the Eliot Church, South Natick, Massachusetts, where Philocrites will be preaching. This is why I refer to Adam Tierney-Eliot (Unity) as my minister. He really is. Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d627′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) });
Philocrites wrote Report on UUA Board’s January meeting about the Board of Trustee’s observer notes. Take a look. I admit I’m not keen on the idea that the Church of the Larger Fellowship — I assume “Congregation of the Larger Fellowship”, which sounds like something that reports to the Roman Curia, is a mistake — [...]
Some of the UU Christian ministers I’ve known have said — in so many words — that if they hope to organize a church, it will have to be with money they raise themselves. The current thinking out of the UUA isn’t exactly helpful for church planters (of any theological orientation). To that end, I [...]
Graham, my favorite Anabaptist blogger, at Leaving Muenster — who never said he’s a universalist — will be picking up some thoughts about universalism at his blog. I’m sure we all look forward to his thoughts. Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d624′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) });
This isn’t a tell-all; this is more about church websites! OK, I’m gay, and y’all know that. (Right?) I won’t knowingly support something that’s anti-gay. (No more shopping in Virginia!) I want to attend a church where I don’t have to tip-toe: neutrality is OK, support is better. The latter is the attitude I’ve come [...]
I keep getting knotted up at the thought that the United States has become a torturing nation. It is wrong, and we will inherit years of righteous anger. It must stop. Read this at Philocrites.

I’m far from announcing a list of the best websites in the UUA — indeed, I may only point out some excellent ones from a variety of membership-size points and decline to rank them further — but one feature has popped out: more congregations are using a content management system (CMS) for their website, and [...]
I won’t be naming the worst website in the UUA but I have certainly found it. Is a website supposed to make you cringe, first with fear and then embarassment? Have you ever gone from page to page and asked “why?” Has a site ever made you want to move into an area, just to [...]
PeaceBang asked me (on her blog) to follow up with Fausto‘s question on her posting about Ash Wednesday: Which leads me to wonder whether the tent-revival Universalist side of our house celebrated Ash Wednesday, and if so, what they said. I looked in a couple of old Unitarian service books and couldn’t find anything. My [...]
Friend and “fellow Demosthenian” James Baker (Mumpish) pointed out the newest nifty tool from the Google stable. I love it, but he’s right that Mapquest will curl up and die.
