Philocrites gave some advice recently about not using a fine point marker if you’re making signs for a demonstration. There really needs to be some information put out there if anything’s going to be made of public demonstrations. After all, a certain unnamed rabidly anti-gay wacko from Kansas has signs so bold they could […]
Well, imagine that. The local TV news reported that the GAO said some monuments are “at risk of a terrorist attack.” Who wudda thunk?
Seeing as we’ve been fed terrorism studies like a Strasbourg goose gets its lunch, I realized I’d gotten the message and resented the idea that we’re supposed to internalize it. I’m […]
Philo took this; I did too. I really am a team player, if I can identify the team.
Last year, I wondered out loud where the reportage of Christian events at General Assembly was? I pressed a UU staffer and was stonewalled.
This year, though there are a number of other-than-Christian theological events reported, it seems clear that there’s no Christian coverage planned for GA ‘05. No, Elaine Pagels does not count, unless […]
Despite the increasingly frequent calls for less frequent General Assemblies, it isn’t going to happen. I don’t think the usual reason given is correct; that is, that the ministers and “GA junkies” (a detestible term) are too invested in having it as a social affair and a junket. Some ministers surely do, but if […]
I’ve been following the online coverage of GA, and like a good trooper, looked to see what events on the docket I would have attended. Let’s just say I think I chose the better part by staying at home. The entertainment to business ratio is disturbing.
But, even I’ve been one to say that the real […]
I was cleaning up some old email accounts and found some real, nonspam unforwarded email. That’s not so good.
If you need to email me, use the following address
bitb — @ — universalistchurch.net — removing the spaces and dashes, of course.
This is a forwarder and may be discarded in the future if it gets too spammy. […]
Does anyone know when the first banners appeared at General Assembly, or Universalist General Convention, or at the Unitarian “May Meetings”?
I know the British Unitarians have these at their Annual Meeting, but who influenced whom?
I wonder if there’s an inheritance from trade union, women’s sufferage, and related reform movement banners (on either side of the […]
Recall the rather unconvincing and callous explanation that some copies of the Koran were — what was it? — “splashed with urine” at Guantanamo —
well, in my never-ending combing of the Internet (I was reading about adaptive interior design for persons with physical disabilities) I found an article on the toilet habits of Muslims […]
