Thanks to James Field for giving us the head’s-up about the extended Unitarian (no Universalists; should I be grateful?) joke on the Colbert Report. I’m catching it in the repeat. Didn’t know it was a whole show on religion. Loved the feature “Choose Your Apocalypse” comparing Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and the Toyota Camry. I [...]
I’m getting a strong, not-good (more about the purpose than the intentions) vibe from the new UU White Allies group. I may write about it later, but has anyone else sensed something from them?

Are there any Unitarian Universalists using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for meetings or anything church-related? Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d1345′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) });
Nancy at DanceLessons wrote today about the need of small congregations who use the sermon manuscripts of ministers with permission and attribution. Good for her. These churches — many of whom I have in mind when I write this blog — have a need. So do published preachers, the a big reason for getting those [...]
I have at least one friend-colleague that’ll be imposing the eponymous ashes in a service this Wednesday. (This may come as a shock to some of you, but this may well be my least favorite Christian observance, or at least the ash-imposing part.) This raises the question, how does that little smudge get on the [...]

Though I have plenty to say on morning (and evening) prayer, I think this is going to be my last word on it for the time being. These thoughts ostensibly are to help Chutney make some choices to help him compose a service. (Though I’m not sure if that is a single meta-service or several [...]
This will mean almost nothing to most readers, so feel free to skip this one if you’re not interested in Ubuntu Linux. My machine is a four and a half year old HP Pavilion 7855 with a 1GHz Pentium 3 processer and 384 MB of RAM (added a 258 MB card yesterday), a CD reader, [...]
I’m glad Chutney and Philocrites brought up the WorshipWeb resource that Philo . . . Chris Walton led-up a few years ago. (These pseudonyms make me think we each have a sidekick, a nemesis, and a lair.) It includes three of the sixteen services from the 1937 (in print until 1981) “red hymnal” Hymns of [...]
Before I forget again. Hubby and I were shopping for chairs (again) last weekend. We took a break at a Borders, and I saw One Nation Under God: The History of Prayer in America. As usual, I flipped to see what it said about the Universalists and Unitarians. Quite a bit really. I noted that [...]
