Where is Our Home?
Tuesday, August 30th, 2005The website for Our Home Universalist Unitarian Church, Ellisville, Mississippi is down, as is the nearby University of Southern Mississippi.
Many of my readers know its energetic lay leader Linda Foshee, so Linda if and when you can we’d love to hear from you.
The Gulf Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship site is up, but I can’t imagine […]
Car-free in NOLA? and more
Tuesday, August 30th, 2005I’ve been thinking a lot about the people of New Orleans, southern Louisiana, and southern Mississippi, and especially about those who didn’t have the means to escape Katrina.
Seems to me that either there wasn’t the capacity (or the means to notify those in need) to use available buses to the transport car-free New Orleans and […]
Swiftboating us with Iraq
Monday, August 29th, 2005I think Terrance is right: the anti-Bush forces will be tarred with whatever failures or undesirable outcomes because we didn’t support the war, and didn’t “support the troops.” How the Left undercut “the troops” is a part of the folk-wisdom of the United States; somehow this was a greater evil than, say, the carpet-bombing […]
“Call and Response” moves; UUChristian.net folds
Sunday, August 28th, 2005I’ve let UUChristian.net — one of my domains — lapse, and in the next few days I’ll be incorporating the former content (and of UUChristian.org, now the site of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship) on UniversalistChurch.net.
The only remaining active blog at UUChristian.net — Call and Reponse — is now at http://www.callandresponse2.blogspot.com/
Pray for New Orleans
Sunday, August 28th, 2005I spent most of my early childhood years in suburban New Orleans, and remember the storms and flooding of smaller hurricanes. Bad business, that.
I am very worried.
I’ll add news, particularly Unitarian Universalist-related news, as it happens.
Later. Katharine prays for New Orleans in a comment that got zapped as spam. She remembered Charleston before and […]
Universalist history in Indiana, a new title
Saturday, August 27th, 2005I got a second book promotion appeal this week, but this time I’ll spread the word. The author-publisher introduced herself to me several months ago, and there are a few people who read this blog the book may interest.
It is a journal about a “man was part of the Universalist movement in Indiana in the […]
An Emergent test
Friday, August 26th, 2005How to tell if you’re Emergent (or read enough emergent-esque literature)?
Look at this magazine cover — yes, it’s a joke — and see if you laugh.
Over 1,000
Friday, August 26th, 2005I missed the thousandth entry — my goal to reach by the end of 2005 — to this blog. This is #1,006.
WWJA?
Thursday, August 25th, 2005PeaceBang, after a fashion, makes me think in that oh-so-90s-way, “Who would Jesus assassinate?” Imagine the merchandise, down to the blood-red silicone wristbands.
No, wait, that can’t be right. He saith:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together […]
