Every once in a while, you get a Unitarian Universalist who says — in so many words — we’re not Christian and never were, so why do we insist on doing X like the Christians. (The letters to the UUWorld sometimes go there.) But what we were (and some still are) conditions the process (if […]
Well, I’ve had some problems before partioning my hard drive with Linux — not one of Ubuntu Linux’s strengths — and ruined the partion with my whole system on it. Fooey. Fortunately I backed up my system all last weekend, so that all I lost was my email. It took less than an hour to […]
Chutney need not have worried that I was going to judge his morning prayer proposal on theological grounds: I’ve read his blog long enough to know where he’s coming from and I’d fain worry if he did propose a Christian liturgy.
And little wonder, too, since cyclic personal and corporate prayer is the property of no […]
Props to Stephen Lingwood (Reignite) for standing out in the cold in Birmingham (not the one in Alabama) opposing the blasphemy laws and promoting Unitarianism.

As my regular readers know, I am keen to find solutions for unusual churchly needs, and will gladly use a “secular” resource. (Such as the time I pointed out an IKEA candle holder as a better-than-average flaming chalice base.)
Hubby and I were at Target yesterday in a failed quest to find new chairs. (We took […]
Jaume de Marcos broke the news on the blogosphere — in Castillian Spanish — of the Result of the election for Executive Committee members 2006-2009.
The upshot is the British Unitarians have a directly elected governing board. That’s the good news. The bad news is the electoral role is 2,563 — meaning the […]
Ah! Some enterprising writer has created a substantial article — ported from a personal site, it seems; wise move — about Geneva or preaching bands. Excellent! (he says Montgomery Burns-like.)
