OK, it seems my August fear that heating fuel pressure on the poor and vulnerable is likely to come true. God help anyone who pays for natural gas or heating oil.
While I’m working on other projects, add how you’re planning to economize. Be clever. Offer ideas. Comment.
Consider, too, what you (whether lay or ordained) might […]
Just to prime the pump for a latter entry about the churches Hubby and I saw in Quebec City. That is, the dead and former churches and synagogue (singular) we saw, and how some served a civic purpose and others didn’t.
Why should a church be tax-exempt? Presumably to keep the state from interfering with our […]
Perhaps you’ve read about the The 100-Minute Bible, a page-turning condensation recently penned by an Anglican priest, the Rev. Michael Hinton.
The BBC’s Radio Four has collected some submissions for a ten-second Bible, a few of which are quite clever.
You can tell from their expression that some of the people with backpacks walking south on Fourteenth Street NW aren’t local. And they’re walking towards the White House or Mall.
Coming back from the post office, a whirring mass of DC’s Finest blazed by.
I think I’ll have to stand against the War in Iraq, too. Photos […]

Give me a day or two to return to normal before I start blogging (or returning emails in ernest.)
I got a comment that asked how I can be reached. As ever, email bitb at universalistchurch.net and it will get to me.
The General Convention of Universalists met at Bennington, Vermont in 1795, the earliest notice of Universalists in Vermont, so says my copy of 1840 Universalist Register and Almanac.
Just a little check-in (cheque-in?) from Quebec City — my first time online in days, and only to approve comments, clear spam, and read mail. (Nice to see no immediate demands of my effort!)
There are a couple of more pre-written posts, then some quiet. See y’all in a week or so. In the meantime, more […]
I talked with my mother a couple of weeks ago, when the search and rescue part of the disaster relief effort was becoming full-scale evacuation and human remains recovery.
We talked about our giving in generalities. I had given to the Red Cross; she gave to the Red Cross and a local food pantry, and said […]
