Joseph Lyons-Santos recalls the 1993 General Assembly and supports a move to biennial GAs. That was my first General Assembly; I was 23, and receive a small stipend to cover most or all of my costs. To tell you the truth, if it hadn’t been for that GA, I’d probably be foursquare in the UCC [...]
I wanted the talk about clericals and vesture to cool down — there are lots of other things far more important to talk about. But I also hate to see a discussion hang. A few points in no particular order. Butterick sells patterns for gowns: a pattern that doubles for the Geneva (preaching) gown and [...]
Last Friday, I was flicking past the cable access station — normally populated by strange evangelists or men in fatigues — and saw the television outreach of the Cathedral of Hope. That’s the world’s largest gay, lesbian, transgendered etc. church; it’s in Dallas, and I knew some of its seminarians when I went to Brite. [...]
There are two interesting developments on the blogosphere with a Wiccan or neo-Pagan theme. First, there is last Wednesday’s posting by Andy T of Searching for a Better Way, a Wiccan who wrote “I’ve Been Reading The Bible” . He comes up with a rather Jeffersonian tack to the Gospel, and is rather pleased by [...]
Joseph Santos-Lyons gives us some hen’s-teeth-rare news from the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Philippines. The link here is that the UUCP has Universalist foundations; that’s hen’s-teeth rare, too. Election: Henry Legaye UUCP President There’s more!

Not much blogging today: I’m at home with a pulled back and throbbing knees. A day in bed with Advil and a heating pad, grateful that there’s not memorial service to do or sermon to preach. (I’ve done both in great pain; it’s nice not being essential and on-call all the time.) En route to [...]
I’ve run across David S. Lawyer’s old-skool but unparalled Universalism on the Pacific Coast before — only to lose the link. Now I’ve found it again. Bookmark this if you value Universalism.

Philocrites asked, in the comments of RSS from the United Church of Canada If you were to rank the kinds of content you’d especially like to see made available through RSS at uua.org, what would you list? First, anything that until now depended on mailing lists might/ought/could be an RSS feed. Share this article Hide [...]
A few days ago, I wondered if Unitarian Universalists wouldn’t be better off to promote transit options to get to church. (“Unitarian Universalism by Transit“) Follow the link below to see a few of the congregational sites that give transit directions. It isn’t comprehensive, so please add more in the comments.

I love the BBC’s religious broadcasting. I really do. (I listen to streaming radio.) They’ve even been known to broadcast from British Unitarian churches, as right they should along with all the other churches and houses of worship. But sometimes fairness trumps the technical and artistic limits of the medium. I recall hearing about one [...]
