Privacy statements important for church websites

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

One of the things I’ve been thinking about for the NoHell.org Universal Restoration project I’m brewing is a privacy statement.

Until a moment ago, I forgot there’s a good article about this from February in the sadly much-too-slow-these-days Heal Your Church Website blog/site.

“Why Your Church Needs a Privacy Statement“

“Progressive Church Planting” blog begins

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

The Rev. Ron Robinson, also the Executive Director of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship, has begun his Progressive Church Planting blog logically enough at http://progressivechurchplanting.blogspot.com.

Thank you Jane Jacobs

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

I had two articles in the hopper: the third anniversary of this blog and one slated for nine days from now — “Happy 90th Birthday, Jane Jacobs” to celebrate her inspiring work for healing and building big cities.

Jacobs, author of such pivotal works as The Death and Life of Great American Cities, died today.

Thanks for […]

Another newsletter model: share and keep it simple

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Avid readers know I like good newsletter design and am always on the look-out for means to simplify this church chore. British church newsletters, in particular, appeal to me more than most because they tend to be brief. After reading about the young Welsh Unitarian minister Thomas Wyn (and his six-point charge!) at the UK […]

Dog in the Bands

Monday, April 24th, 2006

PeaceBang has a very cute picture on her blog which proves a buncha us’uns have tabs even if they’re aren’t seen in public. On the ministers anyway.

For the record, I wear mine under my dog collar.

P.s. Teddy bears are good for storing your bands, too.

A portal site for universal restorationists?

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

I’m more and more convinced that the future for Christians who espouse universal salvation (aka universal restoration) is through extradenominational contacts. Not only is the UUA not the “heir” but quite a few universal restorationists (UR) — the most common term I’ve seen on the Internet — first disassociate themselves from “those Unitarian Universalists” before […]

DC Circulator bus service improves

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

Today is Earth Day. Well, heck, as the price of gasoline continues to rise, every day in metro Washington is Earth Day. Transit ridership is very high and making news, in part because there’s no event associated with the upturn. Good.

This post, however, is for the tourists. I know you’re coming and you ought to […]
