It probably wouldn’t hurt to write about Universalism once in a while.
Yesterday, I received a letter I bought after a winning auction on eBay. The close is the title of this post.
It was written by key Universalist minister Nathaniel Stacy to his wife from Philadelphia, July 12, 1826. I bid on the letter because he [...]
I share with the CrossLeft folks that the more moderate to progressive Christians that affirm a common statement of Christian faith the better. The old liberal rhubarb about focusing on the works of faith seems again and again to — well, care little about Christian faith and gives liberals a reputation for being vague and [...]
Years ago, back in Georgia, I was cutting up with the other “support staff” for a wedding I was officiating. All of us — the bed-and-breakfast (site) owners, the caterers, the pianist, the soloist, and I — were gay men or lesbians. All, of course, but the couple. And this was long before Massachusetts began [...]
I’ve been reading two blogs for a while now:
Reignite, written by Stephen, who is probably Unitarian College Manchester bound.
Never Say Never To Your Traveling Self, written by Portland, Ore. based Hafidha Sofía.

Time to get back into blogging, bit by bit.
Last night, Hubby and I were at that font of “I’m not sure I like it, but isn’t it well designed,” a.k.a. IKEA. As y’all know, I think the flaming chalice, though not bad, is an uninspiring and increasingly amorphous emblem. Also, some of the commissioned ones [...]
OK gang, I got back from Portland, Oregon exhibiting for Day Job, only to have a lot of housework to catch up on, and now I feel poorly. I think I have what’s going around. And I have to exhibit in Philly later this week. Not much time for blogging, and I even accidentally deleted [...]
The Rev. Dan Harper commented on some of the things that bug him about the Unitarian Universalist Association; one is “and too much tolerance of clergy sexual misconduct.”
Amen.
Current clergy guidelines and attitudes protect sleezy (but non-criminal) clergy with a veil of silence and fog of frustration. I’ve talked with other ministers about X who somehow [...]
David — whose new Waking Eutycus blog [2009. blog defunct; was at waking-eutychus.blogspot.com] I neglected to note, given I was in a bit of a slowdown — wrote this in a recent comment:
On another issue, I like to consider the UUA as the only entity that has “apostolic” connection/succession to American Universalism (as well as [...]
The Rev. Derek Parker — a good friend and frequent commenter — wrote me an email this morning that summed-up my feelings about the Rev. Bill Sinkford’s most recent letter as the president of the Unitarian Universalist Association. (I’ve been slammed with other work, thus my non-posting.) You can see it here.
With his permission, this [...]
